Title: Charles Darwin Uses the Language of Religion to Describe the Increasing Number of Scientists Adopting His Theory of Evolution: Converts
Author: Charles Darwin
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 04/11/1864. Darwin's work had profound implications for the relationship between science and religion and here he opposed anyone who would seek to profess religious over scientific faith Scientists, Darwin felt, should work in the spirit of seeking ""truth,"" with no preconceived notions The adoption of the Theory of Evolution by scientists is ""the real cream of the enjoyment to me; indeed it is to me worth far more than any medal."" Significantly, he hopes to continue his work in science One of the most important Darwin letters we have carriedCharles Darwin's ""On the Origin of Species"" was one of the most important books of all time. When it was published in 1859, there was skepticism within (as well as without) the scientific community about the central premise, that species changed through time by a process Darwin labeled natural selection. The idea that human beings evolved from other, previous species struck at the heart of the generally accepted belief that humans were different from other animals, and that species were fixed or immutable. Everyone had learned the story of creation from the Bible, and Darwin's ideas presented a challenge to those who looked at the question through a literal, religious perspective. But Darwin hoped that scientists as well as others would be able to accommodate, adopt an essentially new view and accept evolution. Yet, at the same time, he realized that many who had grown up in the previous scientific school would have a hard time doing so. It seemed that perhaps a new generation of scientists might have to rise before his work was generally accepted.The Copley Medal, the highest award of the Royal Society, is given for “sustained, outstanding achievements in any field of science”. In 1864, Darwin was nominated to receive the medal, and was awarded it ""For his important researches in geology, zoology, and botanical physiology”. Previous winners included scientists like Benjamin Franklin, William Herschel, Alessandro Volta, Humphry Davy, and Michael Faraday.Hugh Falconer was a paleontologist and botanist who was an admirer of Darwin, though not a convert to his theory of evolution. He seconded the nomination of Darwin for the medal, and Darwin wrote to thank him for doing so. In his letter, Darwin made some points of great importance: 1. That more and more scientists were becoming converts to his theory of evolution; 2. That he hopes to continue his work in science, despite advancing age; 3. That scientists should work in the spirit of seeking truth, with no preconceived notions, and 4. That the support of scientists he respected (like Falconer) meant more than the medal to him.Falconer was outraged by a petition that was circulating within Britain’s learned societies that attempted to limit the bounds of scientific enquiry. The petition claimed that scientific research was being “‘perverted by some…into occasion for casting doubt upon the Truth and Authenticity of the Holy Scriptures” and was specifically aimed against evolutionary theory and investigations into the antiquity of man. Falconer made clear to Darwin that he aimed to ""protest against the profession of religious against scientific faith”.Autograph letter signed, four pages with the addressed envelope, Down House headed stationery, Kent, November 4, 1864, to Hugh Falconer, making all the important points cited above. “What a good, kind friend you are. I know well that this medal must have cost you a great deal of trouble. It is a very great honor to me, but I declare that the knowledge that you & a few other friends here so much interested themselves in the subject is the real cream of the enjoyment to me; indeed it is to me worth far more than any medal. So accept my true and cordial thanks. I hope that I may yet have strength to do a little more work in natural science; shaky and old though I be.”“I have chuckled and triumphed over your postscript about poor M. Brullé and his young pupils. About a week ago I had a nearly similar account from Germany and at the same time I heard of some splendid converts in such men as [Rudolf] Leuckart, [Carl] Gegenbaur &c. You may say what you like about yourself, but I look at a man who treats Natural History in the spirit with which you do, exactly as good for what I believe to be the truth, as a convert. Farewell my good friend, with sincere thanks, your true friend, Charles Darwin.”In mentioning M. Brullé, Darwin alludes to an amusing story told by Falconer to him in a previous letter, relaying the complaint of the entomologist Gaspard Auguste Brullé that he heard of nothing but Darwin from his students.Darwin need not have worried about his future productivity in this 1864 letter. Afterwards, he wrote several more books, which include “The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication” (1868), which explored the principles of heredity and how variations occur in domesticated species; his famous “The Descent of Man” (1871), applying the theory of natural selection to human evolution and discussing sexual selection; “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals” (1872), examining the evolutionary origins of emotions and facial expression; and “The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the action of worms"" (1881).Falconer replied to Darwin’s letter on November 7, and the spirit with which he treated Natural History, and the reason for his support for Darwin, were evidenced in that reply. Falconer explained that he believed the award of the Copley medal to Darwin was doubly important: “1. As regards due appreciation of yourself. 2d. As a determined protest against the profession of religious against scientific faith”.Falconer was right to be concerned about the reaction of the religious community and its sympathizers to the theory of evolution. Darwin’s ideas provoked a harsh response from religious leaders and their allies, of which this petition was one example. As examples of the criticism of evolution, England’s highest-ranking Catholic official, Henry Cardinal Manning, denounced Darwin’s views as “a brutal philosophy – to wit, there is no God, and the ape is our Adam.” And Samuel Wilberforce, the Anglican Archbishop of Oxford and one of the most highly respected religious leaders in 19th-century England, also condemned natural selection in a now-famous speech on what he deemed the theory’s deficiencies.This is one of the most important Darwin letters we have carried, dealing as it does with support for his theory of evolution, his hopes for future work in science, and the role of science in seeking truth.

Title: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches
Author: Twain, Mark
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: New York: C.H. Webb, 1867. First Edition. 12mo (176 × 123mm), pp. [4], 198, [2]. His first book, first printing (only 1,000 copies), first binding (approximately the first 100 copies of the 1,000). Original brown cloth, one of seven colors with no established priority (green is the most common, accounting for more than half the edition). Early owner's name to the top blank margin of the title page, tiny nick to the front free endpaper; otherwise fine, crisp, and dazzling beyond reasonable expectation. B.A.L. 3310. Full morocco case. Identifying the first printing is straightforward. Published in May 1867 at $1.25, all copies share four distinguishing points: a single ad leaf on yellow paper inserted before the title, an unbroken "1" in the folio on page 21, an unbroken "e" in "life" in the last line of page 66, and an unbroken "i" in "this" in the last line of page 198. The first binding is equally unmistakable. It has the gilt-stamped frog centered on the front cover and oriented vertically (nose up), with the blind-stamped frog in the same position on the back cover. After Twain, Webb, and the on-site manager examined the first copies bound, the frog was promptly moved to the lower left corner and angled at 45°; a design preference to which all concerned agreed. Once repositioned, the frog remained in the corner throughout Webb's editions; this was not a random or alternating arrangement, as the second binding of the first printing, and all copies of the later printings, have the frog in the lower left corner. Considering the small print run, survivors of the first printing are not as scarce as one might extrapolate, but fine copies of the first printing are very scarce. Those that are fine and in the first binding, with the frog centered on the front cover, are rare. In the elusive brown cloth (representing roughly 10% of copies, most of which appear in the later binding with the frog in the corner) this copy brings together every desirable essential for Twain's first book. In this combination of virtues it is probably unmatched and certainly unsurpassable. The last first printing at auction in the first binding and brown cloth was twenty-three years ago, and it was heavily worn and defective, with broken hinges and artless recoloring. Featuring the tale of Jim Smiley and his trained frog, Dan’l Webster, set in a California gold-mining camp. Exploring themes of the culture clash between the Easterners and Westerners, and deception as a characteristic of the opportunistic nature of human behavior, themes Twain would examine in throughout the rest of his career. There are 26 other stories, all sharply written, but it is the title story that endures as the archetypal California tale, introducing Twain to the country and gaving him access to the business of literature.

Title: [Reward of merit engraving, featuring a game of wicket ball in Connecticut, c. 1821]
Author: [Cheney, John]
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: [Connecticut]: [c. 1821] 6 3/8" x 4" engraving tipped onto a rectangular sheet measuring 10 ¾" x 6 7/8". Black and white engraving depicting a group of boys playing wicket ball on a town green, with reward of merit caption, names of the recipient and her teacher penned in brown ink, tipped onto a tan rectangular sheet of paper. Very good or better, with light spotting and some small chips to edges, a vertical crease to upper center, and some edgewear to tan paper with a two tape remnants to verso. Overall, a superb example of this scarce engraving, depicting an early incarnation of baseball. John Thorn, the Official Baseball Historian for the MLB since 2011, claims that "Wicket was the game of our forefathers … Wicket was the game George Washington played at Valley Forge." The game is believed by many historians to have been an early form of cricket, imported from England by English settlers in the 17th century and played into the 19th century. The game "was one of a number of bat-and-ball games played by Americans in the era before baseball. New England was the heart of wicket country, with Western Massachusetts and especially Connecticut serving as strongholds of the game" (Litchfield Society). In Thorn's article, "The Oldest Wicket Game, Newly Found" (2013), he outlines the extensive research that he conducted after coming across a reward of merit engraving nearly identical to this one (though with the image reversed). He found an entry for the image in Sylvester Rosa Koehler's Catalogue of the Engraved and Lithographed Work of John Cheney and Seth Wells Cheney (1891), dated 1821, described in the following way: "Six boys or young men in shirt-sleeves are playing ball. The ball is in the air in the middle of the sky. At the left two lookers-on are seated on a log, on the right stands another. On the extreme left part of a large tree is seen, on the right a grove of poplars. In the background a school-house, a church, and other houses, two poplars, bushes and a hill. Octagon, oblong, surrounded by two fine lines, with a heavier one between them." Thorn also cites a passage from Memoir of John Cheney (1889), written by Ednah Dow Cheney (John Cheney's sister-in-law) that references the wicket ball engraving: "[John] studied engraving from an encyclopedia, and made a printing-press before he had ever seen an Engraver. He cut a piece from an old copper kettle and engraved on it a sketch of boys playing ball, to be used for a Reward of Merit. This plate still exists." Thorn confirms the setting of the image to be an area of Manchester, Connecticut that John Cheney grew up in. Reward of Merit tickets, akin to prize bindings, were printed items given to children for strong school performance and often illustrated with a wide range of subjects. Examples listed on OCLC date from 1819 through the 1820s, making them notable artifacts of early American printing. This wicket ball engraving is recorded in three holdings: the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and a private collection. John Cheney (1801-1885) was known during his lifetime as "one of the finest engravers working in America" (Smithsonian American Art Museum). He engraved portrait heads and scenes and produced a series of engravings for finely bound "gift books" between 1820 and 1850.. First Edition. Engraving. Very Good. 10 3/4" x 6 7/8".

Description: New York: The Grolier Club, 1885. No. 137 OF 150 COPIES. 235 x 155 mm. (9 1/4 x 6 1/8"). xx, [ii], 62 pp., [1] leaf.Edward FitzGerald. HANDSOME BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, BY BRADSTREET (stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in), covers with the Grolier Club emblem surrounded by a wreath, gilt-ruled panel with foliate cornerpieces, French fillet border, raised bands, compartments each with a floral device flanked by two vines and surrounded by gilt dots, gilt lettering, gilt-ruled and rolled turn-ins with foliate decorations in each corner and along each edge, textured endleaves, top edge gilt (others plain). Original decorative paper wrappers bound in. With color emblem of Grolier Club on title, and three large color headpieces in the Moorish style after Owen Jones. Printed on Japon. Front pastedown with bookplate of Samuel F. Barger. Potter 211. Small patch of loss to front textured endpaper (from bookplate removal?), otherwise a lovely book in exemplary condition. This is a handsomely bound copy of a desirable limited edition of a work generally recognized as the most important poem of the Victorian era. Son of a wealthy Irish landowner, FitzGerald (1809-83) had enough money to pursue a rather desultory literary career as a "genteel gipsy" (in Terhune's words) before beginning to study languages in middle age. He started his translation of the quatrains ("rubáiyát" in Persian) attributed to "Umar Khayyam" in 1856; according to DNB, about half of FitzGerald's final work paraphrases (rather than directly translates) portions of the 11th century poem, while the rest is original verse inspired by Omar. "The result is generally seen as being in some ways an original English poem, one that is much better known than Omar's poem is in Persian." (DNB) It certainly earned FitzGerald "a prominent place among the immortals of English literature" in Jewett's opinion. In 1858, FitzGerald submitted 25 of the "less wicked" verses to "Fraser's Magazine" only to be rejected. He had 250 copies published, anonymously, at his own expense, but had no luck selling them. Admitting defeat, he gave 200 copies to Quaritch; these sold so poorly that they were relegated to the penny bin, where Potter says they were discovered--and soon celebrated--by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne. Those copies that remained unsold when Quaritch moved to Piccadilly in 1860 were either lost or destroyed, but by 1861, Rossetti and his Pre-Raphaelite brethren, along with Celtic scholar Whitley Stokes, were evangelizing for the work, embracing the lush, lyrical verse that would move English poetry away from Victorian orthodoxy and convention. Bradstreet ranked with Stikeman as one of the leading binderies in turn-of-the-century New York. In his "Historical Essay on the Art of Bookbinding," Henri Pène du Bois notes that "there is a solidity, strength and squareness of workmanship about the books of the Bradstreet bindery which seem to convince that they may be tossed" from the summit of a mountain "without detriment or serious injury." Certainly our volume is a testament to the durability of Bradstreet bindings: after nearly a century and a half, it shows virtually no evidence of wear. This copy comes from the library of lawyer and railroad financier Samuel F. Barger (1832-1914), a longtime director of Cornelius Vanderbilt's New York Central Railroad..
