Charles Darwin had collected material with a view to a new edition; following his death, Francis Darwin, his son, used this material, consisting of a mass of letters, extracts from and references to books, pamphlets and reviews, to revise and enlarge this second edition. Hb, bound in the original dark green cloth, blind rulings to upper and lower board, gilt titling to spine, dark olive green endpapers. Plates are tissue-guarded. Boards are in very good condition, just a little rubbing to the publishers name and gilt decoration at lower spine, and just very slightly rubbed at corners; front hinges are weak, but holding, inevitably having separated front endpapers along the spine, rear hinges are tight. Slight surface loss to front endpapers towards upper edge. Early pencil notes ? ?latest edn with plates? and booksellers? prices on the pages preceding the title-page. Very occasional light foxing on early pages, pencil marginal lines in a couple of places. Generally a very good copy, with a nice original binding. Seller Inventory # 008073
