One of the key works by the Danish biologist and correspondent of Charles Darwin, Johannes Japetus Smith Steenstrup (1813-1897), outlining his theory of the 'alternation of generations'. Through this study, Steenstrup demonstrated "that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which, on the other hand, bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors".

"Steenstrup is responsible for the theory of the 'alternation of generations.'

8, 132 S., 3 lithogr. Falttafeln. OLwdbd mit Blind- u. Goldprägung (Rücken oben mit 3,5 cm breiter Fehlstelle, Ecken bestoßen). Erste englische Ausgabe.- Grundlegendes Werk über den Generationswechsel oder den Wechsel zwischen geschlechtlicher und ungeschlechtlicher Fortpflanzung bei den niederen Tierarten. Chamisso u.a. hatten das Phänomen bereits beobachtet, aber nicht weiter untersucht. "Steenstrup war es vorbehalten, das Beobachtungsmaterial zu vervollständigen und von einem gemeinsamen Gesichtspunkt aus zu ordnen . Im einzelnen bedurfte (seine) Arbeit Berichtigungen und Ergänzungen, aber ihr großes Verdienst war es, dass sie ein allgemeines Grundprinzip feststellte, welches zum Verständnis der Entwicklungsgeschichte einer Menge niederer Tiere unentbehrlich war" (Nordenskiöld 425). Steenstrups Schrift war zuerst 1842 auf dänisch erschienen, wurde aber erst durch die deutsche und dann durch die vorliegende englische Übersetzung in wissenschaftlichen Kreisen allgemein bekannt.- Garrison/M. 217; vgl. DSB XIII, 9; Norman Libr. II, 2009.- Angebunden: REPORT of the second annual meeting of the Ray Society . With the laws of the society, list of officers, members etc. London, Adlard, 1845. 24 S. Sprache: Englisch.

Copenhagen, Bianco Lunos, 1842. 4to. Recent half cloth with contemporary marbled boards. Light browning throughout. Small ink signature on title-page. IV,76 pp. and 3 double-page, folded lithographed plates with many figs. Withbound: Steenstrup, Undersögelser over Hermaphroditismens Tilværelse i Naturen, 1845. XIV,88 pp. and 1 plate. The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'alternation of generations', sexual and asexual in plants and animals. "(Steenstrup) showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which, on the other hand, bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors." (Garrison & Morton No 217). A German translation was published the same year, and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 (German translation). "The second major publication - (the first dealing with geology) - of 1842 was "Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsrækker.", (the work offered), Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations', that is, the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction, or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso, but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations, based on a significantly wider range of subjects, and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation, won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen, where he tought from 1846 until 1885."(DSB XII, p. 9).
