First printing of one of Darwin's major papers on the Nebular Hypoyhesis and the evolution of celestial systems.Following his accession to the Plumian chair Darwin delved even more deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium of rotating masses of fluid and later making extensive studies of periodic orbits in the restricted problem of three bodies carried out with special reference to cases obtaining for the particular values of the mass ratio of the two finite bodies of 1:10 and 1:1048 the latter approximating the mass ratio of Jupiter to that of the sun. DSB."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. unknown

First printing of a main work by the "Father of Geophysics" in which he set up the hypothesis that the results from his earlier investigations on the relations between the tidal frictions on the earth and the motion of the moon away from the earth could be used to explain the formation of satellites of the other planets and their movements in relation to the sun.

réf. 419752 pp. manuscript in ink written on the first two sides of an octavo-size bifolium of notepaper 180 x 115 mm with Horace Darwin's letterhead 'The Orchard Huntingdon Road Cambridge'; dated 5 May 1903 the letter is addressed 'Dear Sir Joseph' i.e. Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and is signed in full at the foot of the second side 'Horace Darwin'; the writer thanks Hooker for his congratulations by inference on his becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society although this event is not referred to explicitly; mounted on a section cut from an album page; some toning from the old glue on the verso else clean and legible. An unpublished and hitherto unrecorded piece of private correspondence between Cambridge scientist Horace Darwin 1851-1928 - the son of Charles Darwin - and the eminent botanist Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker 1817-1911 - Charles Darwin's closest friend. Horace thanks Hooker for congratulating him on becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society an achievement which elicits fond memories of his father: for although he had passed away more than twenty years earlier we sense that Horace's emotional and deeply sincere words sum up accurately and concisely how much Charles Darwin meant to both men - as a proud and loving father as a loyal friend and as a brilliant intellect. 'Dear Sir Joseph George Horace's older brother has shown me your letter and I wish to write and thank you for your congratulations. I have wished so much that I could have seen my Father & Mother's pleasure & it adds to my pleasure to know that my Father's best friend is glad. My wife and I are sorry that you are so far from well but we hope you may be able to get to George's later & that we may see you then. Ever sincerely Horace Darwin'. Horace's obvious attachment to and respect for his father is to a large extent explained in this extract from The Darwin Correspondence Project: Darwin and Fatherhood University of Cambridge: 'The close relationships that developed with many of his adult children were highly prized by Darwin. So how exceptional was Darwin as a father In most respects the concerns and beliefs that Darwin expressed about fatherhood were ones that were very typical of men from similar backgrounds in the mid-Victorian period. He frequently discussed his own and other people’s children in letters to friends and relatives. He sought to ensure that his children would be successful when measured according to conventional norms of professional middle-class behaviour. The importance that Darwin attached to his paternal responsibilities and the enjoyment that he gained from his relationships with each of his sons and daughters were typical. However the characteristic that made Darwin unusual when compared to his neighbours and friends was the nature of his work. As a gentleman scientist who worked from home and was frequently not well enough to go to public events his life was centred on his home and family to an exceptional extent. His wife children and servants thus contributed to his research and writing and the practical and intellectual consequences of his scientific work were central to the relationships that he formed with his children.'
