Sobre este item
London, John Murray, 1878.. NEW EDITION 1878, A REPRINT OF THE SIXTH EDITION 1872, Twentieth Thousand, with additions and corrections to 1872. 8vo, approximately 190 x 120 mm, 7½ x 4½ inches, folding chart, pages: xxi,1-458 including half-title and index, original publisher's green cloth, gilt lettering and decoration to spine, blind-stamped decorative borders to covers, brown endpapers, (the pastedown and the endpaper at front have at some time been replaced and are unsightly, see image, the rear original ones are fine) the bookbinder's small ticket on last pastedown, adverts to verso title page. Binding rubbed, slight shelf wear to edges and corners, inner paper hinge cracked, otherwise a good copy. This is a reprint of the edition of 1876 which contained the final text as Darwin left it and which contained small differences in text from the sixth edition of 1872. The word 'evolution' was used for the first time in the 6th edition of 1872 of The Origin of Species on page 201 (twice) and page 424 (3 times). Darwin had used it before in the first edition of the Descent of Man (1871) but it doesn't appear in The Origin of Species until 1872. The title changed to The Origin of Species from On the Origin of Species in the edition of 1872 and a Glossary was added by W. S. Dallas. See: The Works of Charles Darwin by R. B. Freeman, page 87 No. 403. MORE IMAGES ATTACHED TO THIS LISTING, ALL ZOOMABLE, FURTHER IMAGES ON REQUEST. POSTAGE AT COST.
