Description from the seller
The Origin of Species
By Means of Natural Selection
Or The Preservation of Favoured
Races in the Struggle for Life
By Charles Darwin
Two Volumes in One
Illustrated
Nice copy of this scarce title by Darwin, and one of the most important works of scientific study ever published. Text is based on the sixth edition 1872 which was the last version that Darwin worked on before he died.
While Darwin's legendary work was originally published on November 24, 1859, Merrill and Baker produced several handsome, matching editions. This Merrill and Baker edition of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species is a classic, highly collectible printing published in New York around the early 1900s.
The book is illustrated with portrait frontispiece of Darwin. Publishers’ original dark green boards, with gilt lettering and gilt decorations on the spine. Top page edges gilt.
Book Dimensions: 21 x 14 cm
Number of Pages (Volume I): 224 pages
Number of Pages (Volume II): 218 Pages including Glossary and Index at the rear.
Condition
External covers in nice shape, and with light wear to corners and minor rubbing to head of the spine. Internally; in very good condition. No names or inscription. All pages are tightly held at the gutter. Inner hinges are very good. Pages are clean, with some aged browning to page edges. The book is firmly bound with no missing, detached or loose pages (Please see pictures).
===================================
‘The Origin of Species’
Is considered a milestone in scientific progress, and the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.
