1880rif. 156556London: John Murray 1880. It has always pleased me to exalt plants in the scale of organised beings First edition first issue of Darwin's penultimate book continuing his experiments with climbing plants and prepared with the assistance of his son Francis. The first issue is distinguished by the presence of two lines of errata on p. x which are corrected in the second issue of the same year. The collaborative authorship proclaimed on the title page reflects Darwin's interest in introducing his children into the world of science. Francis Darwin had trained as a doctor but turned from medicine to botany initially working as secretary and assistant to his father. In 1876 he had been for some months at the University of Würzburg learning laboratory methods from Julius Sachs. "The book was an extension of Charles Darwin's work on climbing plants and it showed that the same mechanisms can be observed in plants in general. By extending the idea of irregular circumnutation the Darwins analysed the growth movement of plants in response to factors of the environment such as light gravity and wounds. In addition they demonstrated that the mechanism of curvature in both roots and shoots was the result of differential growth rates. They could also confirm that the effect of the stimuli on the growth movement was indirect and that light and gravity act on some substance in the tip of the root and the shoot which is transmitted to other parts of the plant. Francis Darwin later refined some of the experimental techniques and modified their theoretical conclusions" ODNB. Provenance: with the ownership signature of Ralph W. Lewis dated 1949 on the half-title. Lewis was a professor of botany plant pathology biology and natural science at Michigan State University from 1937 to 1980. He is best known for his arguments in favour of formalizing evolutionary theory and recognizing evolution as a system of theories. Octavo. With 196 woodcuts in text; 32-page publisher's catalogue dated May 1878 at rear. Original green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind brown coated endpapers. Spine ends and corners gently bumped and rubbed small indentation at centre of spine some marks to rear cover professionally recased pp. 272-3 browned from slip of paper once laid in.

A nice copy. Freeman Darwin Bibliography 1325. First issue with 2 lines of errata on page x. "This was an extension of the work on climbing plants to show that the same mechanism holds good for flowering plants in general. It was another specialist book and seems to have sold fewer copies than any other and was not reprinted in England after the year of Darwin's death until modern facsimiles appeared of the first thousand in 1966 and the second in 1969.The first edition was published on November 6 1880 and it is recorded that 1500 copies were sold at Murray's autumn sale. It was in a standard green cloth binding and cost 15s. . In this issue there are two lines of errata on page x which are corrected in the second thousand of the same year. . In the third thousand of 1882 the last Murray printing the preface is slightly altered" Freeman p.161. This work follows up on his earlier On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants 1865 and was based on experiments that he conducted with the assistance of his son Francis Darwin. On p.569-70 he suggests natural selection as a possible explanation for plants' ability to bend towards or away from environmental stimuli. John Murray hardcover
