"Darwin contributed a geological introduction to Part I the Fossil Mammalia pp. 3-12 and a geographical introduction to Part II the Mammalia pp. i-iv." Freeman p 26. In 1832 Captain Robert Fitzroy of the Royal British Navy undertook a five-year circumnavigation of the earth. Fitzroy who was only twenty-seven at the time asked a young Charles Darwin to be the naturalist for the voyage. The five-year journey included passing the coastlines of South America and particularly the Galapagos Islands near Ecuador. Darwin collected numerous specimens and data from this now famous area and these became the basis for his theory of natural selection which was a key component in his masterful theory of evolution. "The lavish scientific record of Darwin's collecting endeavours during the five-year voyage of the Beagle originally issued in 19 numbers. The 166 plates 82 finely hand-colouredof the complete works were due to the tireless energy and flair which the relatively untrained ship's scientist put first into the collection of specimens and then into ensuring that the zoological specialists duly reported on them after his return. The cost of the plates was covered by a treasury grant of one thousand pounds but to complete the work for Smith and Elder who were publishers of large illustrated books and government publications Darwin had to persevere as steadily with his pen as with his gun and geological hammer turning himself into a considerable authority during the course of five years spent editing the work of others." Christies "He superintended the Zoology's text wrote introductions for the different parts and added notes from his various Beagle records about animal behaviour and habitats wherever appropriate while also supervising the printers proofreading the sheets arranging artists for the plates chivying the experts and keeping them all moving forward within a tight self-imposed budget" Janet Browne Charles Darwin: Voyaging 2003 p. 370.

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.

1877réf. 14434London and New York: Macmillan and Co. 1877. FIRST EDITION. Half-calf and marbled boards; an excellent copy with the bookplate of Charles Edward Fewster of Hull. First printing of Darwin’s original paper discussing sexual selection in his 1871 work Descent of man stating that the case of the “brightly-coloured hinder ends and adjoining parts of certain monkeys” was the most interesting and perplexing to him. He quotes a work by Johan von Fischer partly published in Der zool. Garten. April 1876 dealing with the expression of monkeys under various emotions “which is well worthy of study by any one interested in the subject.” An interesting article on an interesting subject. Also included in this volume are two reviews of Darwin books as follows: 1 Review of the second edition of Geological observations on the volcanic islands and parts of South America London Smith Elder and Co. 1876 by John W. Judd. pp. 289-290; and 2 Review of The effects of cross- and self-fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom London Murray 1876 by W. T. Thiselton Dyer pp. 329-332. In addition there are two testimonials to Darwin. The first p. 356 is a testimonial on Darwin’s sixty-ninth birthday a mistake in that he was sixty-eight in February 1877 from a group of 154 men of science of Germany presenting to him an album of their photographs. Darwin also received an album with the photographs of 217 distinguished professors and lovers of science from Holland. The second testimonial pp. 410-412 comes from Prof. P. Harting of Utrecht University also on the occasion of Darwin’s birthday who has sent a letter along with the photograph album referred to above from the Directors of the Netherlands Zoological Society and includes Darwin’s reply. The volume includes articles by many of the most important scientists of the day. Freeman 1773; Freeman 1776. Macmillan and Co. unknown
