Description:
London: John Murray, 1888. 2 volumes. Second edition, sixth thousand, a very early printing of this important edition revised. With all Illustrations as called for throughout. 8vo, publisher’s original green cloth, decorative borders in blind on the covers, the spine lettered and decorated with a small tool and ornate bands at the spine tips in gilt. xiv, 473, [1]; x, 495, [32 ad catalogue] pp. An excellent set, especially well preserved and quite fine, bright and clean, unusually so, in fact it is still partially unopened and with only a small abrasion to the free-fly being the only evidence of use. Finding these in such nice condition is rare for academic books. A FINE SET, SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION, AND AN IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections, but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis. This work "represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and… Read More

Description:
London: John Murray, 1899. 2 volumes. Second edition, eighth impression, a very early reissue of an important edition revised. With illustrations throughout. 8vo, original polished green cloth gilt lettered and decorated on the spines, paneled in blind on the covers. xiv, 473, [1]; x, 495, 32 catalogue pp. A very handsome set, beautifully preserved and unusually fresh in the original bright and unfaded cloth, still with the gilt bright and strong in colour, a tight and clean copy. A HANDSOME SET OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT WORK. The second edition is very important in that Darwin made a number of corrections, but more importantly he reworked Chapter XXVII on Pangenesis. This work "represents the only section of Darwin's big book on the origin of species which was printed in his lifetime and corresponds to its first two intended chapters. It contains, in Chapter XXVII, his provisional hypothesis of pangenesis; one which he thought was new, but has a long back history" (Freeman 877). The… Read More

Description:
London: John Murray, 1899. Second edition, revised, sixth impression. With numerous illustrations. 8vo, original green cloth lettered in gilt on spine and blocked in blind on the covers. xvi, 300, Index + 32 ads. pp. A very fine copy, bright and clean and beautifully preserved. EARLY PRINTING IN VERY FINE CONDITION. One of Darwin's most important but often overlooked works. The LIFE AND LETTERS of Darwin (III, p. 274) quotes Asa Gray as saying that "if the Orchid-book (with a few trifling omissions) had appeared before the 'Origin' the author would have been canonised rather than anathematised by the natural theologians," and noted that a review in the 'Literary Churchman' found only one fault "that Mr. Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying, 'O Lord, how manifold are Thy works.'" The book was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilize them, their… Read More

Description:
New York: Heritage Press, 1939. First edition thus. Illustrated with eight full page drawings by John Austen. 8vo, in the publisher’s original rust boards, gilt lettered on the spine and with brown decorated borders on the upper cover. In the original slipcase. vii, 210 pp. A fine copy, light mellowing to the spine panel and some to the slipcase. DELICATE BLACK AND WHITE DRAWINGS WOVEN WITHIN THE TEXT AND FULL PAGE COLOR-TINTED ILLUSTRATIONS AS WELL BY JOHN AUSTEN. A delightful edition of this Goldsmith classic. In literary history books, The Vicar of Wakefield is often described as a sentimental novel, which displays the belief in the innate goodness of human beings. But it can also be read as a satire on the sentimental novel and its values, as the vicar's values are apparently not compatible with the real "sinful" world. It is only with Sir William Thornhill's help that he can get out of his calamities. One of the most popular novels of the Victorian era. It is mentioned in… Read More
