Herschel (John & Darwin, Charles). A Manual of Scientific Enquiry, 1st edition, 1st issue, London: John Murray, 1849, half-title (few short closed tears to fore-margin, one repaired), double-page engraved folding map mounted on verso of title page (title & map with old indistinct library blind stamp), large engraved folding map contained in pocket at rear of volume (folds strengthened to verso), inserted leaf unnumbered at p.98, woodcut illustrations, final leaf of appendix torn to lower outer corner with some text loss and repaired, toning and some browning to margins, upper outer blank corner F12 torn away, few leaves chipped to margins, modern green cloth, morocco title label to spine, 8vo in 12sQTY: (1)NOTE:Freeman 325; Norman 1057.The first editon, first issue with pages 171-190 uncancelled. Charles Darwin contributed Section VI on 'Geology' (pp. 156-195). Other contributors included Richard Owen and William Hooker. This book, edited by Sir John Herschel, went through six editions, remaining in print until 1906. The first edition is found in three forms. In some copies there is a serious transposition of about two pages in the text of Darwin's article, although no matter is missing. This starts on page 178 at lines 2-4 which read 'Most bold coasts/are fronted by sharp promontories and even isolated/found by removing earth and birds' dung'. The transposition ends on page 180 where lines 2-3 read 'the now deeply submerged portions of the cliff have been/pinnacles:'. This transposition, of course, causes a third disjointed sentence at the point where the correct text begins again, on page 190 where lines 4-5 read 'these may be sometimes/simply worn away by the currents'. It would look as if the compositor had one sheet of the manuscript out of order. The correct text reads 'Most bold coasts/are fronted by sharp promontories and even isolated/pinnacles'; 'the now deeply submerged portions of the cliff have been/simply worn away by the currents' and 'these may be sometimes/found by removing earth and birds' dung'.

', signed by the steward Lawrence Robinson lower right, duty stamp to left margin, some browning and a few tiny holes, a few words at fold in sections slightly faded, 1 page on vellum, 31 x 44 cmQTY: (1)NOTE:Wycoller Hall was a manor house in the village of Wycoller, Lancashire, just three miles east of Colne. The Cunliffes settled at Wycoller in the 1720s, the estate passing through several brothers, all of whom died without issue, before passing to the grandson of one of the sisters, Henry Owen in 1773, following the death of Henry Cunliffe. (1728-1773). This earlier Henry and the subject of this deed married Mary Topham (1731-1779), daughter of Lupton Topham (1702-1779). Henry Owen Cunliffe refurbished Wycoller Hall but in succeeding generations was to fall into disarray. The Hall is thought to be the inspiration for Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, first published in 1847. The Brontës lived in the nearby village of Howarth and it is likely the family visited Wycoller on their walks.
