London: John Murray 1885, 6th edition, with Additions and Corrections to 1872 (Twenty-Eighth Thousand). () [i-v],vi-xxi,[xxii],[1],2-458 pp. Very good. Octavo. Original green publisher's cloth with blind stamped rectangular designs to front and rear boards. Gilt titles with ornamentation and publisher's information to spine. Corners lightly bumped with light wear to head and tail of spine. Dark brown endpapers. Internally clean with folding chart. The sixth edition of Darwin's landmark work on natural selection and one of the most influential books of the last 200 years. The sixth edition was originally published in 1872 and went through several printings, this being the 1885 "Twenty-Eighth Thousand" issue (Freeman 416). The sixth edition is notable as the first to include the word "evolution," for which Darwin is now synonymous. This edition was aimed at a more general audience and includes, also for the first time, a glossary of terms compiled by W.S. Dallas, and an additional chapter, VII, where Darwin refutes some of his critics. Please feel free to ask any questions. Insured Shipping by courier to UK approx £15.
