Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Being a critical examination of Mr Darwin's work entitled "Origin and Variation of the Species" Those who question the extent of the scientific rebuttal of Darwin's Origin of the Species when his book was first published should read the work of British zoologist and physician Charles Robert Bree (1811-1886) While numerous scientists at that time have been acknowledged for opposing Darwin, Bree's name is rarely if ever mentioned. That's despite the fact that in 1860 within months of the publication of On the Origin of the Species, Bree produced a critical analysis of it in the form of a book titled Species not Transmutable. x, 256pp clean throughout.

Bree, Charles Robert (1811-86). Species not transmutable, nor the result of secondary causes. x, 256, [2, including errata]pp. London: Groombridge & Sons, [1860]. 191 x 125 mm. Original blindstamped cloth, rebacked preserving original spine, slight fading. Occasional minor foxing, but very good. 19th century armorial bookplate of Robert Durell S. Stephens. First Edition of this anti-Darwinian critique of On the Origin of Species. Bree, a physician, "was one of Darwin's more philosophically-minded critics in Great Britain. No sooner did the Origin of Species and the Descent of Man appear than Bree subjected each in turn to a book-length refutation. . . . Darwin told J. D. Hooker that he 'need not attempt' [Bree's] first book and complained to his old professor, Henslow, that its author 'had not the soul of a gentleman in him'" (Moore, the Post-Darwinian Controversies [1981], pp. 199-200).
