A propos de cet article

London: John Churchill, Princes Street, Soho, 1845 Third Edition (Vestiges) and 1845 First Edition (Explanations). Finely bound in contemporary full polished calf, gilt titles to dark green labels, and heavily gilt decorated compartments to the spines. Gilt filet lined polished calf boards, marbled page edges and end papers. [From Wikipedia] Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation is an 1844 work of speculative natural history and philosophy by Robert Chambers. Published anonymously in England, it brought together various ideas of stellar evolution with the progressive transmutation of species in an accessible narrative which tied together numerous scientific theories of the age. Vestiges was initially well received by polite Victorian society and became an international bestseller, but its unorthodox themes contradicted the natural theology fashionable at the time and were reviled by clergymen – and subsequently by scientists who readily found fault with its amateurish deficiencies. The ideas in the book were favoured by Radicals, but its presentation remained popular with a much wider public. Prince Albert read it aloud to Queen Victoria in 1845. Vestiges caused a shift in popular opinion which – Charles Darwin believed – prepared the public mind for the scientific theories of evolution by natural selection which followed from the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859. Provenance: no bookplates or signatures; from the Rothschild library. Approximately 8 inches tall (20cm).
