The end-leaves in excellent condition and unusually clean the hinges strong and pleasing and without refurbishment a slight bit of rubbing only at the extremities. An especially pleasing copy unusually well preserved. One of the best we have seen. AN ESPECIALLY HANDSOME AND PLEASING COPY OF THIS GREAT BOOK. THE THIRD AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT ISSUANCE OF CHARLES DARWIN'S MASTERWORK. The book is rare in cloth in this condition. Darwin's Revolutionary Masterwork in which he not only "drew an entirely new picture of the workings of organic nature; he revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the natural order of things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had been finally established and a vast step forward in the uniformity of nature had been taken." PMM Together with Copernicus' DE REVOLUTIONIBUS and Newton's PRINCIPIA it is deemed one of the three greatest and most important scientific works ever penned. "The most influential scientific work of the nineteenth century" and "The most important biological work ever written" Horblit Freeman. Darwin's elaboration of the theory of natural selection laid the groundwork for the controversy over the evolution of man and with only slight modification by such scientists as Stephen Jay Gould Darwin's ideas remain the umbra under which most current biological research is conducted. The import of the ORIGIN need hardly be stated. This edition for the first time contains Darwin's historical treatment of theories of evolution: "An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin of Species" xiii-xix. Here Darwin acknowledges the impact of Lamarck Patrick Matthew and others right up to 1860 on his thought. As such it is the first edition that situates Darwin in his broader intellectual context. Copies of the ORIGIN are often quite worn but the present item is unusually well preserved bright clean tight and especially handsome. The book was if ever used handled very kindly indeed. Darwin had intended the book to be an abstract of his 'big book' on transmutation of which only the first part Variation Under Domestication 1868 was published in his lifetime. John Murray hardcover
1899Best.-Nr. 29274London: John Murray 1899. 2 volumes. Second edition eighth impression a very early reissue of an important edition revised. With illustrations throughout. 8vo original polished green cloth gilt lettered and decorated on the spines paneled in blind on the covers. xiv 473 1; x 495 32 catalogue pp. A very handsome set beautifully preserved and unusually fresh in the original bright and unfaded cloth still with the gilt bright and strong in colour a tight and clean copy. A HANDSOME SET OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis. This work "represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two intended chapters. It contains in Chapter XXVII his provisional hypothesis of pangenesis; one which he thought was new but has a long back history" Freeman 877. The first work to truly discuss the actual origin and development of species as an accepted scientific method. The second part of his 'big book' was not published until 1875 under the title NATURAL SELECTION. It was in this work that Darwin attempted his finalization of the understanding or pangenesis and an explanation of acquired characteristics and hereditary resemblance. These subjects were near to impossible to explain in Darwin’s time as scientific methodology and technology had simply not developed to the point at which finite and provable studies on genes and chromosomes could be explored. John Murray hardcover

Finding these in such nice condition is rare for academic books. A FINE SET SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION AND AN IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis.
