Author: DARWIN Charles
Title: A Naturalist's Voyage. 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.
Description: John Murray,, 1886. 8vo., Second Edition, Seventeenth Thousand, neat signature on blank front preliminary and dedication; original dark green arches-style cloth blocked in blind, gilt back, chocolate endpapers, uncut and partially unopened, very neatly recased, backstrip very lightly chafed (but without material loss) at head and tail else an unusually good, clean copy. 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.
