‎The important first edition of Darbishire's exposition of Mendelev's theory of heredety and the practise of breeding. The work constitutes the fullest popular account of Mendel's discovery until that time. ""... I have given a fuller account of the phenomena observed by Mendelev than has yet appeared in popular form: the seven pairs of characters studied by him are all figured for the first time, and other results of his are illustrated by photographs from specimens which I have bred myself."" (Preface p. (III) ).The work is of importance, as it spread the discovery of Mendel, the importance and meaning of which had only recently been discovered. Many Physiologists, genetics and biochemists got acquainted with the discveries of Mendel through this work. For instance John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (1892-1964), one of the founders of population genetics, primarily learned about the discovery of Mendel through Darbishire's work. ""In 1901 his (Haldane's) interest in genetics was aroused by a lecture on the recently rediscovered work of Gregor Mendel"" it was increased in 1910, when he began to study the laws of inheritance as revealed by his sister's 300 guinea pigs. Reading an early paper by A.D. Darbishire, Haldane noted what appeared to be the first example of gene linkage in vertebrets..."" (D.S.B. p. 21).‎

Il est l'auteur de On Growth and Form (1917, révisée en 1942) traduit en français sous le titre Forme et croissance, qui fit de lui le premier biomathématicien. Il a notamment montré qu'on pouvait passer d'une forme d'une espèce à la forme d'une espèce proche par certaines transformations géométriques. - La thèse centrale de On Growth and Form est que les biologistes du début du xxe siècle ont surestimé le rôle de lÉvolution (en insistant sur la sélection naturelle) et ont sous-estimé le rôle de la physique et de la mécanique dans la constitution des formes et des structures des organismes vivants. Dans ce livre, D'Arcy Thompson indique un certain nombre d'exemples de corrélation entre des formes biologiques et des phénomènes mécaniques. Il montre une similarité entre les formes de méduses et les formes de gouttes de liquide tombant dans un fluide visqueux, et entre les structures internes des os creux d'oiseaux et les lignes d'égale tension dans les poutres. Il retrouve dans la phyllotaxie (les relations numériques entre des structures en spirale dans les plantes) une séquence particulière, la suite de Fibonacci. « DArcy Thomson sefforça de réduire les expressions les plus diverses à des modèles génériques communs. Il croyait que les modèles de base eux-mêmes possédaient une sorte dimmuabilité platonique en tant que conceptions idéales, et que les formes des organismes pouvaient ne comporter quun ensemble de variations imprimées par ces modèles. Il élabora une théorie coordonnées transformées pour décrire ces variations comme lexpression dun modèle unique qui subissait des étirements et des déformations divers.» Absolument sui generis, ce livre ne cadre presque jamais avec le courant dominant de la pensée biologique. Il ne présente aucune réelle découverte centrale, et dans la plupart des cas n'essaie même pas d'établir une relation causale entre les formes ayant une origine physique et les formes analogues observées en biologie. Ce travail se situe dans une tradition descriptive. Thompson n'a pas articulé ses intuitions sous la forme d'hypothèses expérimentales pouvant être mises à l'épreuve. Il en était conscient, affirmant : « Mon livre a à peine besoin de préface, pour la raison qu'il est tout entier une préface du début à la fin. » « Penseur subtil, DArcy Thomson comprit que le fait dinsister sur la diversité ou sur lunité nengendre pas des théories biologiques différentes, mais des styles esthétiques qui influencent profondément la pratique de la science. » Long, bien écrit et enrichi de nombreuses illustrations, On Growth and Form devait enthousiasmer et influencer des générations de biologistes, architectes, artistes et mathématiciens. Claude Lévi-Strauss affirma que la notion de transformation, qu'il utilisait dans ses travaux d'anthropologie structurale, ne venait pas tant de la linguistique ou de la logique que de la biologie de D'Arcy Thompson.

‎Rare first edition of the first Italian translation of Darwin's seminal ""Origin of Species"", quite unusually, authorized by Darwin himself. The work was very well received and - compared to France and Spain - Darwinism was quickly adopted by Italian biologist and zoologist and meet only little catholic opposition. ""The impact of Darwinism on Italian naturalists was powerful"" the logic and rigorous treatment of the problem of the origin of species as Darwin had presented it, forced zoologists and anthropologists to reconsider those passages of Lamarckisms that they had agreed to with excessive enthusiasm"". (Capanna, Darwinism and the Italian academies). The reception of Darwin's work in France (1862) and Spain (1877) were characterized by a strong chatolic opposition, which also had a strong suppressing effect on the spread of his ideas to academic institutions.Despite of Italy being a catholic stronghold the reception of Darwinism was very favourable and meet very limited criticism from the church:""In contrast to the power Catholicism was able to exert against Darwinism in Spain, it was practically impotent in Italy. Neither could the Italian Catholic intellectual establishment draw upon a repertory of anti-Darwinism arguments from the Italian scientific establishment, as was done in France. As in France under the Third Republic and as was the case sporadically in Spain, the advent of Darwinism in Italy provided a source of ideology for the anticlerical movement. Although Darwinism enjoyed a number of close connections with the English source, the peculiarities of the Italian situation set Darwinism in Italy apart from other situations. Italy was in the forefront in recognizing Darwin, electing him to various academies and societies and awarding him the famous Bressa Prize in 1875. In Italy the translation of the Origin ""1864"" was given an impeccable scientific presentation by Giocanni Canestrini and Leonardo Salimbeni, which avoided the type of situation that arose from the presentation of Darwinism in France by Clémence Royer as a new scientific basis for a secularistic Weltanschauung. As a general explanation, of course, it is reasonable to accept Cermenati's arguments that the favorable receptivity of the scientific community and the general indifference to ecclesiastical objections to Darwinism are the chief factors explaining the quick spread of Darwinism in Italy"". (Glick, The Comparative Reception of Darwinism).Emma Darwin, Darwin's wife, wrote publisher John Murry on the 17th of December: ""Mr Darwin desires me to say that as you have never hesitated to authorize a foreign translation he has taken upon himself to authorise a translation into Italian without consulting you."" When Darwin was informed that his work was being translated into Italian he wrote to his close friend J. D. Hooker: ""There is an Italian Edit. of Origin preparing!!! This makes fifth foreign Edit, ie in five foreign countries. Owen will not be right in telling Longmans that Book wd be utterly forgotten in ten years. Hurrah!"".Freeman no. 706‎

‎First Italian translation of Darwin's Journal of researches, now known as Voyage of the Beagle, being his first published book. As Darwin later recalled in his autobiography 'The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career'. ""On its first appearance in its own right, also in 1839, it was called Journal of researches into the geology and natural history etc. The second edition, of 1845, transposes 'geology' and 'natural history' to read Journal of researches into the natural history and geology etc., and the spine title is Naturalist's voyage. The final definitive text of 1860 has the same wording on the title page, but the spine readsNaturalist's voyage round the world, and the fourteenth thousand of 1879 places A naturalist's voyage on the title page. The voyage of the Beagle first appears as a title in the Harmsworth Library edition of 1905. It is a bad title: she was only a floating home for Darwin, on which, in spite of good companionship, he was cramped and miserably sea-sick"" whilst the book is almost entirely about his expeditions on land.""

‎First Italian translation of Darwin's ""On the movement and habits of climbing plants"". The paper was first published in 1865 in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London (Freeman 833), later same year it was corrected and published in book form (from which the present translation is made) (Freeman 1834) Darwin described the origins and writing of this book in his autobiography: ""In the autumn of 1864 I finished a long paper on Climbing Plants, and sent it to the Linnean Society. The writing of this paper cost me four months: but I was so unwell when I received the proof-sheets that I was forced to leave them very badly and often obscurely expressed. The paper was little noticed, but when in 1875 it was corrected and published as aseparate book it sold well. I was led to take up this subject by reading a short paper by Asa Gray, published in 1858, on the movements of the tendrils of a Cucurbitacean plant. He sent me seeds, and on raising some plants I was so much fascinated and perplexed by the revolving movements of the tendrils and stems, which movements are really very simple, though appearing at first very complex, that I procured various other kinds of Climbing Plants, and studied the whole subject. I was all the more attracted to it, from not being at all satisfied with the explanation which Henslow gave us in his Lectures, about Twining plants, namely, that they had a natural tendency to grow up in a spire. This explanation proved quite erroneous. Some of the adaptations displayed by climbing plants are as beautiful as those by Orchids for ensuring cross-fertilisation.""The first edition did not appear in America, nor was it translated in Darwin's lifetime, but has a recent facsimile. The second appeared in French, German and Italian and in America from English stereos.Freeman 863.‎

‎The exceedingly rare first Hungarian translation of Darwin's The Descent of Man. ""Compared with the original and with a biography by Margó Tivador"" (Freeman). The Hungarian public was introduced to Darwinism early on when Ferenc Jánosi reviewed The Origin of Species in the Budapesti Szemle (Budapest Review) a half year after it first appeared in English. Darwin's principal works were first published in Hungarian translation by the Royal Hungarian Natural Science Society (Királyi Magyar Természettudományi Társulat). The Origin of Species, translated by László Dapsy, was published in 1873"" The present work in 1884 and a few years later, in 1897, the latter work was translated anew and published by László Seress. ""It is characteristic of the enlightened spirit of the country in this period that Darwin received academic recognition earlier in Hungary than in England. Although Cambridge did not honor Darwin until 1879, he was elected an honorary member of The Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1872, the same year on this occasion the renowned Hungarian zoologist Tivadar Margó visited him at Down.Historical circumstances played a major role in this quick appearance of Darwinism and its popularity in Hungary. The failure of the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence seemingly put an end to progressive political discourse, signaling an ideological crisis among the intelligentsia. In this context, the natural sciences with their 'eternal truths' promised a way out, inasmuch as science's promised objectivity might well serve as a politically neutral expression of progressive values"" (Mund, The Reception of Charles Darwin in Nineteenth-Century Hungarian Society).""Darwin wrote, in the preface to the second edition, of 'the fiery ordeal through which this book has passed'. He had avoided the logical outcome of the general theory of evolution, bringing man into the scheme, for twelve years, and in fact it had, by that time, been so much accepted that the clamour of the opposition was not strident. He had also been preceded in 1863 by Huxley's Man's place in nature. The book, in its first edition, contains two parts, the descent of man itself, and selection in relation to sex. The word 'evolution' occurs, for the first time in any of Darwin's works, on page 2 of the first volume of the first edition, that is to say before its appearance in the sixth edition of The origin of species in the following year.""

‎First edition of Darwin's paper on flatworms collected by him during the Beagle voyage, one of the important early papers by Darwin on invertebrates originally intended for publication in The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle. This is Darwin's first publication on taxonomy: illustrated with a plate drawn by Darwin, it describes a new genus and 15 new species of flatworm. Extremely rare on the market.""The paper on flatworms [...] was Darwin's first venture into taxonomy. In it, he described a new genus and 15 new species"" most of the latter are still recognised as valid. He took a great deal of interest in these animals, making extensive notes on their morphology and behaviour"" (Porter, Darwin's Sciences).Previously familiar only with marine species, Darwin was astounded to discover two new species of flatworm living on dry land in Brazil. He was intrigued by their close resemblance to snails, and evolutionary questions may well lie behind his strong interest in them.
