2006Best.-Nr. 62290Cambridge University Press. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. Tight square unmarked book in clean black cloth.; 6.14 X 1.56 X 9.21 inches; 750 pages; During 1867 Darwin intensified lines of research that were to result in two important publications Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin circulated a questionnaire on human expression asking his established contacts to pass it on to their acquaintances with the result that he began to receive letters from an even more diverse and far-flung network of correspondents than had previously been the case. Convinced that human descent was strongly influenced by sexual selection he also started to ask his correspondents about sexual differences in animals and birds. At the same time he was working on the proof-sheets of another major work Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication while negotiating almost weekly with French German and Russian translators. . 052185931X .

All in all an attractive and appealing set in entirely original unsophisticated condition. Housed in a bespoke quarter morocco solander case. The first edition of the first full-length exposition of an evolutionary theory in English and the most important precursor to Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species'. "This outspoken statement of a belief in evolution published anonymously to protect Chambers' reputation as a publisher anticipated Darwin's Origin by 16 years Garrison and Morton p.218. Bringing "together a large variety of data from both geology and the life sciences to support the idea of the origin of species through a process of transmutation. It played a significant role in the history of mid-nineteenth century biology by making evolutionism a commonplace topic of discussion" becoming a sensational best-seller read widely by the intellectual and cultural elite thus easing the way for Darwin's own writings Norman. Notably the work also contains what is probably the first discussion of computing within the context of biology with Chambers demonstrating "that evolutionary change occurring over long periods of time could be seen as similar to the workings of Babbage's Difference Engine programmed from the beginning of its operation to produce in sequence several different series of numbers according to a succession of mathematical rules". Vestiges in fact served to significantly aid public understanding of Babbage's work with his ideas receiving "a much wider circulation through Chamber's text than through the two editions of the "Ninth Bridgewater Treatise" Hook et al. Origins of Cyberspace p.147. The October 1844 first edition of Vestiges consisted of 750 copies with a second edition of 1000 copies quickly following in December. The book was constantly revised with Chambers refining arguments addressing criticism and reacting to new scientific publications. Late in 1845 largely in response to Adam Sedgwick's review of the work in the Edinburgh Review Chamber's wrote "Explanations: A Sequel to Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation" consisting of 1500 copies and which was subsequently appended to later editions DSB III:192. The 11th edition of 1860 included a three page discussion of Darwin's recently published Origin a book which according to historian James A. Secord Vestiges outsold up until the early twentieth century. It was not until the 12th edition of 1884 in the preface written by his friend Alexander Ireland that Robert Chambers was revealed to have written Vestiges ending several decades of public speculation that had named everyone from Prince Albert to Darwin himself as the potential author.
