MATTHEW, PATRICK. 1790-1874.
On Naval Timber and Arboriculture. Edinburgh: Adam Black; London: Longman, 1831.
8vo (227 x 144 mm). xvi, 391, [1], pp with 4 leaves of advertisements bound at front. Original green cloth with printed paper spine label,re-backed with original spine laid down, light bubbling to front cover, lightly soiled, corners rubbed, minor foxing and a few dampstains.
FIRST EDITION, RARE especially so in the original cloth. Matthew is considered the first to clearly and completely anticipate the Darwin-Wallace theory. He used the expression "natural process of selection" and was acknowledged by Darwin in the third and subsequent editions of his Origin: "Mr. Patrick Matthew ... gives precisely the same view on the origin of species as that ... propounded by Mr. Wallace and myself." Matthew's anticipation of Darwin is found in the appendix to his little-read book on arboriculture; however, he gives no scientific evidence for his view. Even so, Matthew had cards printed up identifying himself as "the discoverer of natural selection." Garrison-Morton 216.3; Norman 1457 (original cloth).
