Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little not those who know much who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

Charles Robert Darwin 1809-1882 was an English naturalist and geologist best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However many favored competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history. He was honored by burial in Westminster Abbey. The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex was first published in 1871. It applies evolutionary theory to human evolution and details Darwin's theory of sexual selection a form of biological adaptation distinct from yet interconnected with natural selection. The book discusses many related issues including evolutionary psychology evolutionary ethics differences between human races differences between sexes the dominant role of women in mate choice and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society. Fritz Kredel 1900-1973 was a German later American artist and graphic designer. In his early years he studied under Rudolf Koch at Offenbach School of Art and Design and developed skills in woodcuts. Koch and Kredel collaborated on A Book of Signs 1923 and The Book of Flowers 1930. Following Koch's death in 1934 Kredel moved to Frankfurt but in 1938 he fled Germany for political reasons with help from Melbert Cary. After emigrating to the United States that year he taught at Cooper Union in New York and continued to work as an artist. He produced illustrations for over 400 books in German and English and received many awards and honors. Many of his originals are now housed at the Art Library at Yale University.

Rare. FIRST EDITION second issue with pp.171-90 cancelled containing the corrected sheets including part of Darwin’s article. Freeman notes that most copies of the first issue including Darwin’s own were published with a separate 20-page cancellans inserted into a pocket inside the back cover. Freeman further states that some copies may have been issued without the cancellans as here. This collection of scientific articles on subjects relating to naval training was used as a textbook for cadets at the Royal Naval College. Darwin contributed the section on “Geology” which contained serious transpositions of the text which were cancelled and replaced with corrected sheets. / “Sir John Frederick William Herschel 1792-1871 – astronomer mathematician chemist - was one of the most important British scientists of the nineteenth century. Son of the famous astronomer William Herschel he was persuaded by his father to pursue the astronomical investigations William could no longer undertake; John’s subsequent career resulted in a knighthood and a lifetime of accolades. This 1849 publication was commissioned by the Admiralty to encourage and assist naval officers to undertake scientific research while abroad. The work provides instructions in making and recording observations in a wide range of disciplines - astronomy; magnetism; hydrography; tides; geography; geology; earthquakes; mineralogy; meteorology; atmospheric waves; zoology; botany; ethnology; medicine; statistics - written by experts in these fields including G.B.

It was hoped that the instructions could also be used by other travellers to advance scientific knowledge and the work remained in print for over fifty years.” PROVENANCE 3: 1 Charles Finney Cox 1846-1912 New York. He worked as an American railroad manager holding roles including Assistant Treasurer of the Canada Southern Railway Company Vice-President of the Richmond & Alleghany Railroad Company and President of the Carthage & Adirondack Railway Company. He became Treasurer and President of the New York Academy of Sciences. In 1896 Cox was appealing for financial assistance to fund a suitable building for the Scientific Alliance of New York including creating a 100000 volume library etc. Cox was an active member of scientific groups like the New York Microscopical Society and the Royal Microscopical Society.

"While at the University of Cambridge the student Charles Darwin became an enthusiastic insect collector. He sent Stephens records of the rarer insects he had captured and was delighted when Illustrations of British entomology gave him credit for capturing insects described in 33 entries quoting his words in all but two of the cases. Darwin recalled in his autobiography "No poet ever felt more delight at seeing his first poem published than I did at seeing in Stephen's Illustrations of British Insects the magic words 'captured by C. Darwin Esq.'" though the closest wording as published actually appeared slightly differently as "captured by the Rev. F. W. Hope and C. Darwin Esq. in North Wales" and "Taken in North Wales by C. Darwin Esq." – Wikip. / The exquisite plates are colored by hand after drawings by Charles M. Curtis 1795-1839 and John Obadiah Westwood 1905-1893 who was among the first entomologists with an academic position at Oxford University. Although he worked on insect classification and diversity for more than sixty years from the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species he never accepted the ideas on evolution. / James Francis Stephens was an English entomologist and naturalist. He was elected fellow of the Linnean Society on 17 February 1815 and of the Zoological Society of London in 1826. From 1815 to 1825 he took a great interest in ornithology and contributed to the work of George Shaw 1751-1813. He was granted leave from office to assist William Elford Leach in 1818 to arrange the insect collection at the British Museum and eventually described as many as 2800 British insect species. In 1833 he was founder of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London. Stephens made a large insect collection that included many specimens. After his death the insect collection was purchased by the British Museum. PROVENANCE: Bruce Lowther 1926-1999 Collection c/o J.T. Barnes 503 Royal Trust Building Victoria B.C.

Page ridge soiled. 1985 Hard Cover. xxix 702 pp. Family tree on endpapers. This volume inaugurates a complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The first volume of the edition contains the letters of the years 1821 - 1836. They begin with one written to Darwin at the age of twelve and continue through his school days at Shrewsbury his two years as a medical student at Edinburgh the undergraduate years at Cambridge and his five years of exploration and learning during the voyage of the Beagle. These were Darwin's years of initiation and preparation for a life of science. In the earliest letters Darwin appears already keenly interested in natural history and an avid collector of minerals plants marine invertebrates and insects - especially beetles. The letters of the succeeding years tell the story of the young Darwin's development up to his return to England when at the age of twenty-seven he was received as a colleague by Charles Lyell Adam Sedgwick and other leading scientists who had already heard of his discoveries and observations during the Beagle voyage.
