In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. London: John Van Voorst, 1862. First edition. ix,[i],278pp.,(+16pp. publisher's catalogue, dated December 1860). Original tipped-in photographic frontispiece depicting Henslow's bust. Errata slip tipped in after prelims. With Darwin's recollections of Henslow between pages 51 & 55, & double… page table between pages 100 & 101. §Freeman 830; this copy being Freeman's variant a binding. Sole edition of this memoir of an important figure in the life of Charles Darwin. "CD, when at Cambridge, was known as 'the man who walked with Henslow'. CD regularly attended his Friday evening gatherings, which continued every week in term until 1836 and were the forerunners of the Cambridge Ray Club 1837-. H became a strong personal friend of CD and looked after specimens sent back from Beagle voyage. 1835[,] H edited CD's letters to him [written from the Beagle] as Letters on geology, privately printed," Freeman, 'Charles Darwin: A Companion' (1978). "From 1825 to 1832 seems to have been a golden age for botanical science in Cambridge. Not only were Henslow's lectures well attended, but the more gifted pupils found the young professor charming, friendly, accessible, and very knowledgeable over the whole field of natural science. The field classes run by Henslow became very popular, partly because they took in zoology and geology as freely as botany, and the Friday evening soirées at the Henslow home overlooking Parker's Piece were brilliantly successful. The young Charles Darwin, who went up to Christ's College in 1828, fell under his spell, with important consequences for modern biological science. Darwin assessed his teacher thus: 'He had a remarkable power of making the young feel completely at ease with him, though we were all awe-struck with the amount of his knowledge. . . When I reflect how immediately we felt at ease. . . I think it was as much owing to the transparent sincerity of his character, as to his kindness of heart; and, perhaps even still more to the highly remarkable absence in him of all self-consciousness.' Jenyns, 51. Thus began a lifelong friendship, which survived even the strain of the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859. Ironically, Henslow, who had first recommended Darwin as naturalist for the Beagle [after both himself and Jenyns had turned down the opportunity to embark], was in the chair for the famous meeting of the British Association in Oxford in 1860 when Thomas Henry Huxley clashed with Bishop Wilberforce over man's descent from the apes", (Oxford DNB). This copy with the ownership name & annotations of J. Climenson who - according to these - studied under Henslow during the latter's tenure as Chair of Botany at Cambridge c.1825-1846; apparently some years later than Darwin. Climenson can be fairly confidently identified as the Rev. John Climenson (d.1904). No publications of his have been traced. His wife Emily J. Climenson (née Montagu, 1844-1921) edited various 18th century writings such as 'Passages from the Diary of Mrs. Philip Lybbe Powys' (1899). Original purple cloth, gilt lettering, blind decoration. Spine sunned to a shade of brown, with some discoloration, and wear to head, tail & lower edge of spine. Rear inner margin partly cracked but sound. Climenson's annotations, written over a number of years, consist of his name, college, & date to front pastedown above his MS note 'York Certificate of Botany under this Most Charming of Professors. J.C.'; ink marginalia to page 24; a few marks in pencil & one marginal date in ink to four further leaves; initials & date to page 266; and brief pencilled index, date & initials to last endpapers. In all other respects, a very good copy.

In den Warenkorb[2], ii, iv, [4], 301, [1 (blank)]; [4], vi, [7] - 282 pp. 16mo, gathered in 8s. 7-3/16" x 4-5/8" Shepherd was a "Church of England clergyman and theological writer, . who matriculated from Corpus Christi College, Oxford, on 1 December 1749 at the age of seventeen. . After considering a military career he took orders in the Chur…ch of England and eventually was appointed chaplain to Thomas Thurlow, bishop of Lincoln and later of Durham; Thurlow's nomination gained Shepherd the archdeaconry of Bedford in July 1783. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in May 1781, and in 1788 he was Bampton lecturer at Oxford. In 1792 he was instituted to the rectory of Wetherden and Helmingham in Suffolk by Lord Chancellor Thurlow, brother of the bishop, and he held these preferments until his death. Shepherd published a wide selection of writings, including poetry and drama, although he came to concentrate on theology. His poetry was not unsuccessful: his Ode to Love (1755?) was reprinted in 1760 and The Nuptials (1761) went into three editions. Most of his poetic and dramatic pieces were included in the two-volume Miscellanies (1775). Several of Shepherd's theological works went into two or more editions, including his response to Soame Jenyns in The Review of a Free Enquiry (1759), The Requisition of Subscription to the Thirty-Nine Articles (1771), and Reflections on the Doctrine of Materialism (1779), addressed to Joseph Priestley. Shepherd published regularly throughout his life; his last piece was No False Alarm, or, A Sequel to Religious Union (1808). He died at the parsonage at Wetherden on 3 January 1809." [ODNB]. "The first volume [of Miscellanies] consists primarily of verse, and includes odes, elegies, and two long poems, 'The Nuptials' and the dramatic poem 'Hector'; at the end is a letter to Sir William Jones on education. The second volume contains the author's philosophical writings, particularly his letters to Soame Jenyns occasioned by the latter's 'Free Enquiry into the Origin and Nature of Evil." [Quaritch]. Shepherd's works are now uncommon in the trade. This 2 volume work is offered with 2 other Shepherd titles, TavBooks ID #37012 & 37013. The listed price is for all 4 volumes. Light binding wear.
