Sobre este item
London: John Murray, 1875. Hardcover. Very Good. London, John Murray, 1875 ('Sixth edition, with additions and corrections | (Fifteenth Thousand)')/ 1872/ 1859. Octavo, xxii, 458 pages plus a folding diagram. Green cloth stamped in gilt and blind; covers a little rubbed, marked and flecked, with slight wear at the extremities; hinges cracking (but firm); scattered foxing (generally very light) and a few marks internally; a few other minor signs of age and use; a very good copy. The sixth edition was the first to use the term 'evolution', and dropped the word 'On' from the title. It was also a cheaper popular edition, with smaller format and type. This copy is from a later printing, but before Darwin's final changes were introduced in the 'Eighteenth Thousand' issued in 1876 (Freeman, page 80). Not least, Chapter VII was entirely new to the sixth edition ('Miscellaneous Objections to the Theory of Natural Selection', pages 168-204).
