Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition, 1913. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering to the front board and spine and blind-ruled borders to the boards. xii, 208 pp. Published in London and Edinburgh by Sands & Company, with B. Herder of St Louis, Missouri, also named on the title page. The volume carries the contemporary ecclesiastical approvals "Nihil obstat" and "Imprimatur," dated Westminster, 15 May 1913. Thomas J. Gerrard's study examines Henri Bergson's philosophy explicitly from the standpoint of St Thomas Aquinas, addressing Bergson's philosophy of change, intuitive method, freedom, finalism and divine fecundity. Published while Bergson occupied a conspicuous position in European intellectual life, the book documents an interesting early encounter between Bergsonian philosophy and the Thomistic tradition. Its 1913 publication places it within the contemporaneous reception of Bergson rather than the extensive retrospective literature which followed, giving the work particular interest within the intellectual history of early twentieth-century philosophy. Original blue cloth remains firm, with gilt lettering clear. Light rubbing and wear to the extremities, with a few small marks to the cloth. External paper edges age-toned. Endpapers tanned. Former owner's signature in pencil to the front pastedown, with one small pencil mark to the facing free endpaper. Otherwise entirely unmarked throughout, with no ink or pencil markings anywhere else. Binding sound and boards firmly attached. In sum, the condition points requiring mention are the light exterior rubbing and wear with a few small marks to the cloth; age-toning to the external paper edges; tanning to the endpapers; and the pencil signature to the front pastedown together with the single small pencil mark on the facing free endpaper. Otherwise the book is entirely unmarked throughout, the binding is sound, the gilt remains clear, and overall this is a Very Good copy of the 1913 first edition.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. WALLACE, Alfred Russel. The Malay Archipelago: The Land of the Orang-Utan, and the Bird of Paradise. A Narrative of Travel, with Studies of Man and Nature. London: Macmillan and Co., 1869. First edition, first impression. Two volumes. Wallace was far more than Darwin's celebrated contemporary. Explorer, collector, geographer and naturalist, he independently conceived the principle of evolution by natural selection during eight years in the Malay Archipelago, from 1854 to 1862. His 1858 essay, sent to Darwin from Ternate, led to the joint presentation of their ideas at the Linnean Society. He became the founding figure of biogeography: the "Wallace Line", which marks the sharp transition between Asian and Australasian animal life, remains one of the most vivid concepts in natural history. The Malay Archipelago is the great literary and scientific culmination of that experience. Across some 14,000 miles and roughly seventy expeditions, Wallace assembled more than 125,000 natural-history specimens, including over a thousand new species. He made this remarkable book from those journeys: at once travel narrative, ethnography, zoology and a field record of evolutionary thought. Its pages contain orang-utans, birds of paradise, insects, peoples, forests, volcanoes and islands, described with the close observational power of a scientist who was also an exceptional writer. The printed dedication to Charles Darwin is particularly moving. Wallace offers the work both as a token of personal esteem and friendship and as an expression of his admiration for Darwin's genius. It records one of science's great intellectual friendships, while asserting Wallace's immense, independent contribution to the understanding of life. The original boards, richly patinated with age, have been retained and carefully conserved. The volumes have been expertly rebacked in closely matched calf, the new spines raised on bands, finished with red and green morocco labels and gilt tooling in a sympathetic nineteenth-century style. Each board is completed with a discreet contemporary gilt and black onlaid orang-utan device, drawn from the original publisher's binding and the title-page design, creating a thoughtful homage to the work's original visual language. Marbled endpapers with gilt turn-ins. Thomas Baines, Walter Hood Fitch, John Gerrard Keulemans, E. W. Robinson, Joseph Wolf and T. W. Wood. (illustrator).…
