DARWIN, Charles

Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage of HMS 'Beagle' round the World, under the Command of Captain FitzRoy. Seventeenth Thousand.

Published: John Murray, 1886

Stock code: 12907

Price: £288.00

With 32p publisher's catalogue (dated April 1886) bound in at end and the trade ticket of Beavis Stewart of Newcastle-on-Tyne on front paste-down. Quite apart from its scientific value, Darwin's first published text (1839) is an important travel work in its own right. This issue retains Darwin's separate Postscript, first seen in the tenth thousand of 1860 and from 1890 onwards incorporated in the text. Freeman (Darwin), 18.
