Description:
1863 AFRICA 1st ed Speke Journal of Discovery of Source of the NILE River Egypt

John Speke's 'Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile' is a rare, 19th-century account of his third African expedition in which he and his crew ventured to confirm his theories about the origins of the Nile River. Joined with Captain James Augustus Grant, Speke traveled to Lake Victoria to confirm the Nile's source.
According to the DNB,
"the importance of Speke's discoveries can hardly be overestimated. In discovering the 'source reservoir' of the Nile he succeeded in solving the 'problem of all ages' He and Grant were the first Europeans to cross Equatorial Eastern Africa, and thereby gained for the world a knowledge of rather more than eight degrees of latitude, or about five hundred geographical miles, in a portion of Eastern Africa previously totally unknown."

1868 1ed Charles Darwin Variation Under Domestication Biology Plant Evolution 2v

"One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die."
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

In the summer of 1858, Darwin felt pressured by other scientific research, to publish his evolutionary ideas, before others who had similar findings. He began writing according to his big book of 'Natural Selection' – the source for 'Variation.' According to Freeman,
"This represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was published in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two chapters." (Freeman)

When completed, 'Variation' was by far Darwin's biggest book to date. In fact, when he sent it to the printer, he wrote a personal letter to Murray apologizing for the size.
"I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear o the enormous size of my Book"
Because of this, portions of the original manuscript were left… Read More

1848 1ed Pieter Harting Microscope DUTCH Biology DARWIN Influence Illustrated 3v
Pieter Harting was 19th-century Dutch scientist who is best remembered for his contributions to the development and use of the microscope and microscopy. He published what proved to be the greatest book on microscopy, titled simple 'The Microscope', which provided lessons on using the microscope as well as covering designs for lens improvements.
It should be noted that Harting was one of the earliest supporters of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories, many of which were endorsed by Harting's microscope findings. In fact, according to Darwin scholar Eve-Marie Engels, Harting was "one of the most influential" of all 19th-century scientists and philosophers.
This 1848 Dutch edition of 'The Microscope' is illustrated with 18 impressive folding engravings featuring numerous figures depicting microscope parts, lenses, cells, burners, and scalpels.
