Light wear to extremities otherwise a fine and clean set. 262 2; 313 3 pp. Rare first Polish edition of the second and third parts of the Descent of Man but published separate from the first part as one work hence the title 'Sexual Selection' a translation authorised by Darwin in response to Malowski's request to make the translation Letter 8910 14 May 1873. Whereas "Origin of Species" established Darwinism as a turning point in nineteenth-century biology "The Descent of Man" helped built a bridge between biology the social sciences and the humanities and made Darwinism a broad system of research designs theoretical principles and philosophical outlook.The numeration of parts is from Chapter I to Chapter VI vol. I and from Chapter VII to Chapter XIV vol. II. It is generally based on the first English edition 1871 but at the end of vol. II the Polish publisher has added the short note on the brains of man and apes of T. H. Huxley which was originally published in the second English edition 1874. "It was translated into Danish Dutch French German Italian Polish Russian and Swedish in Darwin's lifetime and into ten further languages since."

O Powstawaniu Gatunków. i. e. Polish: "Origin of Species". Translated by Szymon Dickstein. - FIRST FULL POLISH TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S "ORIGIN OF SPECIES"

1884réf. 56005Warszawa Przegladu Tygodniowego 1884. Large8vo. In contemporary half calf. Spine with wear lacking the upper 1 cm. Small stamp to title-page. Hindges weak and back board detached from bookblock. Verso of title-page and first leaf on content. 437 1 XVI Including the plate pp. First edition of the first full Polish translation of Darwin's "Origin of Species". An attempt to publish a Polish translation was made as early as 1873. This was however never completed and only half of the work was published Freeman 739 thus making the present copy the very first full Polish translation. As seen in several other countries especially in Japan the majority of Polish intellectuals adopted a Social Darwinism perspective at a very early stage rather than appreciating the English naturalist's caution in applying his ideas to human society."Before the first translations of Darwin's appeared . many Polish intellectuals such as positivist writer Eliza Orzeszkowa 1841-1910 complained about the increasing confusion over the essence of the English naturalist's ideas which had all too often been mixed up with all sorts of ideological debates. However when Darwin's books were actually available in Polish translations the novelty of his concepts gradually wore off making room for more serious attempts to come to terms with evolutionary theory." Glick The Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe. "It appears that the struggle for or against Darwinism in partitioned Poland prefigured a pattern that is relevant for Polish thinking up to the present day: the conflict of striving for progress with the help of powerful allies abroad and of virulently rejecting all foreign advice for fear of losing one's cultural identity." Ibid.Translation was begun by Szymon Dickstein who in the processe of the translation committed suicide. It was completed by Józef Nusbaum who also translated 'The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication' in 1888.Freeman 740 unknown
