1890réf. 44888John Murray 1890. 2 vols. 8vo. Second Edition Seventh Thousand with 43 illustrations in the text some very occasional underlining mainly in pencil a little light spotting to the first several leaves of each volume; original arches-style binding of green cloth gilt backs chocolate endpapers uncut backstrips lightly chafed without loss at heads and tails lower joints mildly rubbed and a little tender else a very good bright clean copy. With 32pp publisher's catalogue April 1889 bound in at end of second volume as called for. First published in 1868 Darwin's longest work was extensively revised for the second edition of 1875 which became the final text. It is especially notable for containing in Chapter XXVII the first statement of the author's provisional hypothesis of pangenesis. No publisher in England other than Murray has ever printed this important work. Freeman Darwin 241; Freeman BNHB 910. John Murray, hardcover
1899réf. 29274London: John Murray 1899. 2 volumes. Second edition eighth impression a very early reissue of an important edition revised. With illustrations throughout. 8vo original polished green cloth gilt lettered and decorated on the spines paneled in blind on the covers. xiv 473 1; x 495 32 catalogue pp. A very handsome set beautifully preserved and unusually fresh in the original bright and unfaded cloth still with the gilt bright and strong in colour a tight and clean copy. A HANDSOME SET OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis. This work "represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two intended chapters. It contains in Chapter XXVII his provisional hypothesis of pangenesis; one which he thought was new but has a long back history" Freeman 877. The first work to truly discuss the actual origin and development of species as an accepted scientific method. The second part of his 'big book' was not published until 1875 under the title NATURAL SELECTION. It was in this work that Darwin attempted his finalization of the understanding or pangenesis and an explanation of acquired characteristics and hereditary resemblance. These subjects were near to impossible to explain in Darwin’s time as scientific methodology and technology had simply not developed to the point at which finite and provable studies on genes and chromosomes could be explored.

1888réf. 28746London: John Murray 1888. 2 volumes. Second edition sixth thousand a very early printing of this important edition revised. With all Illustrations as called for throughout. 8vo publisher’s original green cloth decorative borders in blind on the covers the spine lettered and decorated with a small tool and ornate bands at the spine tips in gilt. xiv 473 1; x 495 32 ad catalogue pp. An excellent set especially well preserved and quite fine bright and clean unusually so in fact it is still partially unopened and with only a small abrasion to the free-fly being the only evidence of use. Finding these in such nice condition is rare for academic books. A FINE SET SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION AND AN IMPORTANT WORK.

1868réf. 174003London: John Murray 1868. Darwin's earliest use of the phrase "survival of the fittest" First edition first issue of the first of Darwin's works to use the famous evolutionary phrase preceding its appearance in the fifth edition of the Origin of Species by a year. Variation provides a full statement of the facts on which the theories of Origin were based. "Survival of the fittest" was coined by the philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer on reading Origin. In the introduction to Variation Darwin notes: "This preservation during the battle for life of varieties which possess any advantage in structure constitution or instinct I have called Natural Selection; and Mr. Herbert Spencer has well expressed the same idea by the Survival of the Fittest" p. 6. Variation represents the first section of Darwin's projected 'big book' on the origin of species of which the Origin itself was an abstract. Ultimately Variation would be the only section of the 'big book' published during his lifetime. It was "intended to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation although it would also incidentally answer Lyell and Gray who maintained that variations had not occurred purely by chance but were providentially directed. Darwin showed that breeders indeed selected from a vast array of minute random variations" ODNB. "He gave numerous instances of the causes of variability including the direct effect of the conditions of life reversion the effects of use and disuse saltation prepotency and correlated growth. Variation also addressed a key criticism of Origin: that it lacked an adequate understanding of inheritance" ibid. This is the only Darwin title published by Murray to appear in the larger format of demy octavo. The first issue was published in a run of 1500 copies for which this copy has all the relevant points: five errata in Volume I nine errata on seven lines in Volume II and the spine imprint on one line. The second issue with substantial textual variations was published in a run of 1250 copies in February and is distinguished by a single erratum in Volume I no errata in Volume II and a two-line imprint on the spine. 2 vols demy octavo. With 43 woodcuts in text. Vol. I with 32 pp. of publisher's advertisements dated April 1867 Vol. II with 2 pp. of advertisements dated February 1868.

1868réf. 151873London: John Murray 1868. First edition first issue of Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis in which he first uses the phrase "survival of the fittest" for the first time. First issue without publisher's advertisements errata with five items in six lines in the first volume on page vi and nine items in seven lines in the second volume on page viii. Octavo two volumes bound in full contemporary calf with titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels all edges marbled marbled endpapers illustrated with numerous in-text illustrations and a chart. In very good condition bookplates to the front pastedowns. Darwin's Variation Under Domestication “took up in detail that subject which had been confined to one chapter of the Origin. It contained Darwin’s hypothesis of pangenesis by means of which he tried to frame an explanation of hereditary resemblance inheritance of acquired characters atavism and regeneration. It was a brave attempt to account for a number of phenomena which were beyond the bounds of scientific knowledge in his day such as fertilization by the union of sperm with egg the mechanism of chromosomal inheritance and the development of the embryo by successive cell division. His hypothesis of pangenesis could not therefore give a permanently acceptable account of the multitude of phenomena it was designed to explain. It was however a point of departure for particulate theories of inheritance in the later 19th century” DSB. John Murray unknown
1868réf. 10685New York: Orange Judd & Company 1868 Faint small spots of discoloration along the foredge of first 193 pages - does not affect legibility or integrity of the volume. Bumped two lower corners of covers. Bookplate to inside front cover. ; Book is in excellent condition. Volume 2 is concerned with how species inherit particular characteristics Darwin first published his 'provisional hypothesis' of pangenesis. This theory of 'gemmules' was not met with much acceptance and today is not valuable as scientific explanation but it was important in laying down the key questions that needed to be answered regarding the processes of genetic inheritance. Darwin also used volume 2 to challenge the theories of evolution by design expounded by the botanist Asa Gray. Darwin's arguments were some of the very first in a long debate that remains hot today. The work was intended to counter critics of Origin of Species particularly those who questioned the reality of variation and the mechanism of inheritance. It is considered a classic in evolutionary biology providing crucial support for the theory of evolution. It laid groundwork for modern plant and animal breeding and genetics. ; ; 568 pages.
