1865réf. 185092St Petersburg: Prince A. S. Golitsyn 1865. Russian evolution Scarce first edition in Russian of Darwin's first published book celebrated as the genesis of his theory of evolutionary biology. Among the earliest translations of the Voyage in any language this edition attests to Darwin's popularity in Tsarist Russia. Like Britain and France Russia was a centre of pre-Darwinian research on evolutionary theory. The Darwinian evolution proved immediately popular as young scientists and radical social philosophers employed it to establish their independence from religious conservatives in the traumatic aftermath of the Crimean War. The Voyage of the Beagle was originally published in 1839. This translation was produced by Andrei Beketov 1825-1902 the botanist and evolutionary theorist who had also produced the first Russian translation of the Origin in 1864. Beketov's wife Elisaveta 1834-1902 was a prolific translator in her own right and it is now widely accepted that she collaborated with her husband on this translation. A variant of the famed diagram of the Galapagos finches is on page 206 of Volume II. 2 vols small octavo 160 x 106 mm pp. viii 540 2; iv vi 466. Engraved portrait frontispiece to vol.

1876réf. 34481London: John Murray 1876. Very Early Printing the eleventh thousand in the publisher's original dark-green cloth typical for Darwin's books. With a number of illustrations. 8vo publisher's original dark-green cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. vii 519 1 pp. A handsome and well preserved copy some light evidence of age bur quite fresh with bright gilt and some minor general mellowing from age. AN IMPORTANT WORK IN THE DARWIN OEUVRE. One of the early printings which used the title "A Naturalist's Voyage" on the title page. One of Darwin’s earliest works. Even without publication of his works on evolution he would have had a considerable reputation as the author of The Voyage of the Beagle. While ‘The Origin of Species’ dominates perceptions of his work this is an important travel book in its own right and its relation to the background of his evolutionary ideas has often been stressed.Freeman. “Of the great exploratory voyages ‘a most important place is taken by the voyage of the ‘Beagle’ in 1831-1834. Darwin’s name is so associated with the evolutionary idea through which he profoundly influenced scientific philosophical political religious and ethical thought that certain of his other claims are often forgotten. To appreciate his distinction it is necessary to recall that had he never written on evolution he would still stand in the front rank among naturalists and would have to be included in any history of science. Thus even during the voyage in the ‘Beagle’ he reached conclusions that modified and extended the fundamental working principles of geology and geophysics.” - Singer. During the voyage Darwin suffered severely from seasickness. In a letter to his sister Caroline he wrote “ I continue to suffer so much from sea-sickness that nothing not even geology itself can make up for the misery .” Bowlby p.164 John Murray hardcover
