Title: The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volumes One to Ten
Description: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Used, Ten volumes, covering the period 1821-1862. Hard covers, with unclipped dust jackets, all in very good condition. From a significant collection that belonged to a deceased ex-customer of ours for over 40 years; a retired civil servant with an academic interest in philosophy and the history of science, particularly Victorian, around the generation of Darwinism. Hundreds of books in these genres are being catalogued and shelved daily. General shelf and handling wear, including light tanning to dust jacket edges and spines, with minor creasing, wear and occasional small slivers and nicks to DJ edges. Light blemishes noted to the pageblocks of several volumes, but generally very clean. Small open tear to front cover head of volume 5. The textblock to volume 10 is larger; the binding has lost its original tightness, this causing the textblock to curve proud of the boards at the top third. The content remains securely bound. Front pastedown and endpaper to Volume 10 are foxed. Within, pages are securely bound, content is unmarked. A lovely collection, please contact us for more information or additional photographs. CN. Very Good/Very Good.
