1868réf. 137161New York: Orange Judd & Company 1868. First edition of Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis. Octavo original publisher's green cloth with gilt titles to the spine illustrated with numerous in-text illustrations and a chart. Preface by Asa Gray. In near fine condition. An exceptional example. 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. Orange Judd & Company hardcover

1868réf. 2642London: John Murray 1868. FIRST EDITION. Original Cloth. Very Good. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE IN ORIGINAL CLOTH of Darwin's sequel to the Origin of Species including his first use of the term "survival of the fittest". "The Variation was a full statement of the facts on which the theories of the Origin were based. "After the Origin's publication Darwin embarked on two broad lines of research: botanical experiments and studies of variation sexual selection and emotional expressions in humans and mammals. In 1860 he began recycling the early as yet unpublished chapters of 'Natural selection' and studying the osteology of domestic pigeons ducks and geese for a book on how breeders and horticulturists modify species. This was The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication 1868. Its two volumes were intended to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation although they 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. 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. "The Variation also addressed a key criticism of the Origin of Species: that it lacked an adequate understanding of inheritance. Darwin's 'provisional hypothesis of pangenesis' was constructed to explain how heritable traits were passed from parents to offspring. He supposed that each part of a parent organism throws off minute particles or 'gemmules' which circulate in the body and collect in the sexual organs to be transmitted in reproduction. Because gemmules are received from two parents the offspring develop to resemble them both more or less. 'The child strictly speaking does not grow into the man but includes germs which slowly and successively become developed and form the man' Darwin Variation. "The term 'survival of the fittest' borrowed at Wallace's insistence from Herbert Spencer's 1866 Principles of Biology first appeared in the Variation. It was a partial substitute for Darwin's more anthropomorphic 'natural selection' which many critics took to imply the existence of a 'selector'. Mistaking Darwin's metaphor they concluded that intelligence lay as much behind nature's selecting as behind a pigeon fancier's. Nevertheless Darwin defended his use of 'natural selection' while conceding that he had personified it too much" Dictionary of National Biography.

1892réf. 74513London: John Murray 1892. Second Edition Revised - Fourth Thousand. Hardcover. Very Good. First published in 1868 this book began as an expansion of the first two chapters of On the Origin of Species 1859: "Variation under Domestication" and "Variation under Nature" and it developed into one of his largest works; Darwin 1809-82 referred to it as his "big book." The first volume deals with the variations introduced into species as a result of domestication through changes in climate diet breeding and an absence of predators. He began with an examination of dogs and cats comparing them with their wild counterparts and moved on to investigate horses and asses; pigs cattle sheep and goats; domestic rabbits; domestic pigeons; fowl; and finally cultivated plants. The work is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation and a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolutionary biology. Octavo two volumes: xiv 473 p. x 495 p. with publisher's advertisements 43 textual figures and numerous tables. Original brown cloth bindings with gilt titles and decorative black and blind stamping.

Intended originally as the first two chapters of a monumental work that Darwin envisioned but never published on the origin of species not the Origin of 1859 which Darwin viewed as only an abstract of a more substantial project. This second edition substantially revised and enlarged from the first edition of 1868 is the final text in which Darwin proposed the concept of pangenesis his provisional hypothetical mechanism for heredity which was proven obsolete by the 1900 rediscovery of Mendel's theory of the particulate nature of inheritance and in which he detailed and discussed at length artificial selection.

1868réf. 1224New York: Orange Judd 1868. 1st American Edition. Two volume FIRST AMERICAN EDITION of "ONE OF DARWIN'S MOST INFLUENTIAL AND WIDE-RANGING BOOKS. IT IS ALSO HIS LONGEST AND MOST DETAILED WORK" Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin 879. It is also "the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and corresponding to its first two intended chapters" ibid. Darwin's intent was "to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation" Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. "This work is notable not only for Darwin's prodigious amassing of facts concerning artificial selection of traits to demonstrate an analogy for natural selection. It also advances his hypothesis of pangenesis and gemmules as the agents of the inheritance of characteristics" DSB. Darwin's hypothesis of pangenesis "here expounded for the first time" Freeman. Was the 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 latter nineteenth century' DSB Freeman. "Other chapters consider "the amount and nature of the changes which animals or plants have undergone whilst under man's dominion" employing observations of inheritance within a species in an effort to understand the causes of variability" ibid. While as said Darwin's two volumes "were intended to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation" they also "incidentally answered 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.

"During the seven years which have elapsed since the publication of 1868 of the first edition of this Work I have continued to attend to the same subjects as far as lay in my power; and I have thus accumulated a large body of additional facts chiefly through the kindness of many correspondents. Of these facts I have been able to here use only those which seemed to me the more important. I have omitted some statements and corrected some errors the discovery of which I owe to my reviewers. Many additional references have been given. The eleventh chapter and that on Pangenesis are those which have been most altered parts having been re-modeled; but I will give a list of the more important alterations for the sake of those who may possess the first edition of this book."
