"The book in its first edition contains two parts the descent of man itself and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The Origin of Species in the following year. The last chapter is about sexual selection in relation to man and it ends with the famous peroration about man's lowly origin the wording of which differs slightly in the first edition from that which is usually quoted" Freeman p. 129. "In the Origin Darwin had avoided discussing the place occupied by Homo sapiens in the scheme of natural selection stating only that 'light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.' Twelve years later he made good his promise with The descent of man in which he compared man's physical and psychological characteristics to similar traits in apes and other animals showing how even man's mind and moral sense could have developed through evolutionary processes. In discussing man's ancestry Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from apes as we know them today but stated simply that the extinct ancestors of Homo sapiens would have to be classified among the primates; however this statement as misinterpreted by the popular press caused a furor second only to that raised by the Origin" Norman Library. This title created almost as much sensation as his Origin of Species. In it he elaborated further on his views adding sexual selection and using the word 'evolution' for the first time.

Light wear to covers expertly recased. Bookplate. First edition first issue with errata on verso of vol. II title-leaf. viii 423 1; viii ii 475 1 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Darwin's Descent of Man created an uproar second only to his Origin of the Species; however "contrary to popular error prevalent now as well as then Darwin never said that man was descended from apes let alone monkeys; what he claimed was that man's ancestors if alive today would have to be classified among the Primates" De Beer Charles Darwin pp. 210-1. ODNB further clarifies "The Descent understood by Darwin as a sequel to the Origin was written with a maturity and depth of learning that marked Darwin's status as an élite gentleman of science" Freeman 937 John Murray unknown

1862réf. 176464Paris: Guillaumin et Cie Victor Masson et Fils 1862. With an autograph letter signed by the woman Darwin judged "one of the cleverest" in Europe First edition in French translated and edited by the self-taught theorist feminist and author Clémence Royer 1830-1902 together with a loosely inserted autograph letter signed by her. Her lengthy preface and extensive footnotes pre-staged the rise of social Darwinism and anticipated several of the issues Darwin himself would later consider in the Descent of Man 1871. After reading Royer's edition Darwin judged her "one of the cleverest & oddest women in Europe" Darwin Correspondence Project. The French philosopher Renan went further deeming her "almost a man of genius". Although Royer had no scientific training she worked closely with the naturalist René-Édouard Claparède 1832-1871 to ensure that her translation of Darwin's biology was technically accurate. However Royer transcended the typically passive role expected of female translators and took a considerably more active engagement in the final text - a move seen at the time as a distinctly masculine one. Assuming an editorial capacity she outlined her own interpretation of Darwinian science bullishly exploring consequences that Darwin had carefully left out and adding a Lamarckian slant to his theories. In this she was among the first to publicly draw eugenicist conclusions from Darwin's work. France had been particularly resistant towards Darwinian science in part because of Lamarck's continuing grip on its biological thought. By positioning Darwin as a defender of Lamarckian inheritance Royer became a prominent albeit unsystematic champion of Darwinian ideas in France. Darwin later chose to retain Royer for the second edition indicating she claimed that she understood the thrust of his thought better than most. In the enclosed autograph letter Royer writes to Alphonse de Calonne 1818-1902 the founder of the Revue Contemporaine to arrange a meeting regarding the publication of her novel Les Jumeaux d'Hellas 1864. Together 2 items: i octavo 175 x 111 mm. Folding lithographed plate facing p. 160; ii bifolium 130 x 105 mm written across 16 lines on the first page with Royer's embossed initials at the head.

1852réf. 7904London: John Murray 1852. 8vo pp.viii 519 1. Original red cloth blocked in blind spine lettered direct in gilt. A touch soiled. A little shaken boards marked and somewhat grubby a touch of insect damage head of spine slightly defective. Binder’s ticket of Edmonds & Remnants London to rear pastedown ownership inscription to title-page. An early issue of the revised edition of Darwin’s first published book. Despite the title-page advertising it as a new edition it is an otherwise-unchanged reprint of the 1845 2nd edition from plates. This second edition was substantially revised from its initial publication as a supplementary volume to Captain Fitzroy’s 2 volume ‘Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle’ in 1839 and despite the addition of a new postscript in 1860 this 1845 version remained the definitive lifetime text. This issue and its immediate predecessor are issued and bound as part of publisher Murray’s ‘Colonial and Home Library’ of cheap reprints described by Freeman as ‘a miserable piece of printing in small type with mean margins’ while the 1860 edition was printed on larger paper and given a green cloth binding to match the previous year’s ‘On The Origin of Species’ and reflects the growth in status and importance of the work and its author.

Uncommon in the publisher's cloth. During the course of the voyage of the Beagle 'Darwin's geological achievements mounted up. Using Charles Lyell's radical new Principles of Geology 183033 as a guide he grew bold in interpreting the earth's crust by causes now in operation. The first volume was a gift from FitzRoy the other two reached him during the voyage. He was captivated by Lyell's grand theoretical scheme - "when seeing a thing never seen by Lyell one yet saw it partially through his eyes" Correspondence 3.55 - and confirmed many of Lyell's observations with careful fieldwork. On other points Darwin expanded innovatively especially in understanding the piecemeal formation of the Andes and the origin of coral reefs on sinking mountain rims. There was an immediacy to it all. As he trekked through the Portillo and Uspallata passes of the Andes the coloured rocks seemed almost like a geological diagram and in the Cocos Keeling Islands he waded over the reefs to confirm his theory of the formation of coral atolls. His geology was dynamic with continents slowly rising and sea basins sinking and it formed the basis of all his later views. He endorsed Lyell's belief in an earth gradually shaped over countless ages: time enough - as he later grasped - for evolution by natural selection to occur' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

First American edition. 2 vols. Small 8vo. First American edition of Darwin's important first published book containing the observations and field work that form the basis for On the Origin of Species. "The five years of the voyage were the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science knowing the importance of evidence almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since the creation but had undergone change. The experiences of his five years in the Beagle how he dealt with them and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought" DSB. Darwin's Journal "his first published book is undoubtedly the most often read" Freeman 31. It is "one of the most interesting records of natural history exploration ever written and is one of the most important for it was on this voyage that Darwin prepared for his lifework ultimately leading to The Origin of Species" Hill I 104-5. First published in 1839 as "the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle edited by Captain Robert Fitzroy. Since then it has changed its name four times so that today it is universally referred to as The Voyage of the Beagle. On its first appearance in its own right also in 1839 it was called Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History etc. The second edition of 1845 transposes 'Geology' and 'Natural History'. and the spine title is Naturalist's Voyage" Freeman 32.

1909réf. 182356Cambridge: Printed at the University Press 1909. The evolution of evolution Limited presentation edition inscribed in a secretarial hand to Lucien Cuénot 1866-1951 a pioneering developer of Mendelian genetics and a skilled promoter of neo-Darwinism. These presentation copies were printed for delegates at the 1909 Darwin celebrations in Cambridge - marking the centenary of the man himself and the half-centenary of his most famous work. The Foundations marks Darwin's first articulation of the theory of evolution. Cuénot then professor of zoology at the University of Lorraine had been engaged in Mendelian experiments since the rediscovery of the latter's work in 1900. For this he is celebrated as the individual responsible for introducing genetics into Franc and for doing so in an essentially Darwinian framework. Darwin wrote the Foundations in mid-1842 drawing together a series of observations that had been fermenting since he stepped off the Beagle at Falmouth. As Francis Darwin observed the basic structure of the sketch resembles that of the Origin itself outlining the Malthusian mechanisms of natural selection and proceeding from analysis of domesticated organisms to those in a state of nature. Following Emma Darwin's death in 1896 the 35-page manuscript was discovered in a cupboard in Down House where it had been discarded as scrap paper. Francis Darwin who had co-authored several scientific works with his father edited the manuscript for presentation. Later in 1909 the University Press published a trade edition which paired Foundations with another previously unpublished "sketch" from 1844. Octavo. Photogravure portrait frontispiece with tissue guard photographic plate.

Vol. I p. 297 starts with ""transmitted"". Vol. II has the inserted postscript and has errata on the verso of the title-page. Freeman points out that ""the word evolution occurs for the first time in any of Darwin's works on page 2 of the first volume.""In this work Darwin expounded fully his theory of sexual selection and discussed at length the link he recognised between human and ape lineage. This piece further enhanced Darwin's fame - if not his popularity - and is one of the most significant works in the evolutionary debate. It addresses the issue of human evolution in terms that Darwin had shied away from in On the Origin of Species knowing how controversial his ideas would be. By 1871 he had the confidence and stature to publicise this crucially important part of his theory of natural selection.Freeman 937. hardcover
