New York, D. Appleton, 1876. 8vo. XII, 396, 8 S. Originaler Verlagsleinen (mit Deckel- und Rückenprägung).
¶ Die Erstausgabe erschien 2 Jahre zuvor. - Gray (1810-1888) war von 1842-1873 Professor für Naturgeschichte an der Harvard University und vertrat im Gegensatz zu seinem Kollegen Agassiz Darwins Ansichten zur Evolution. Allerdings ging auch er vom Wirken einer göttlichen Kraft aus, welche die Variation der Arten lenke. So sehr es Darwin begrüßte, dass Gray die Entwicklungslehre in den USA vorantrieb, sowenig vermochte er dessen „gerichteter Evolution“ zu folgen. Trotz allem standen die beiden Wissenschaftler in einem andauernden und fruchtbaren Kontakt zueinander. The Harvard botanist, Asa Gray, was Darwin's main American correspondent and his greatest defender in the United States. It was due to him that the topic of evolution was introduced there and spread in spite of the resistance of his colleague Louis Agassiz, who objected the whole idea out of religious reasons.
