The first leaf of the advertisements describes “The Minerva Library (New Series.) Large Crown 8vo, art linen, extra gilt, fully illustrated, 2s.” and Volume II in the series is this work. This volume however has a variant binding, and the three-quarter portrait of Darwin in the regular series has been replaced by a portrait of Darwin standing from the painting by Sir J. Collier in the National Portrait Gallery. We hazard a guess that this is a somewhat later publication (concurring with Freeman). The biographical introduction is by G. T. Bettany. #66390 A$160.00

A duplicate from the Bibliotheque Universitaire, Bordeaux, with stamp on title-pages, in the bottom margin of plates and in margins of a few text pages.

The collation of this copy differs slightly from Freeman’s in which no mention is made of the final leaf in Volume I, and which gives only pp. [iv] for the preliminaries to Volume II. As Freeman notes, a complete set of the Palaeontographical Society’s monograph volumes appeared in facsimile in 1966, but Darwin’s work was not available alone. #66799 A$1850.00

London; Longmans and Co.; 1861. ***Freke independently arrived at the conclusion that all living beings are descended from one primordial form, a doctrine he first propounded in the ‘Dublin Medical Press’ in 1851. However his grounds of belief and treatment of the subject were, as Darwin remarked in his ‘Historical Sketch’ to the sixth edition of his ‘Origin of Species’, “wholly different from mine; but as Dr. Freke has now (1861) published his Essay ... the difficult attempt to give any idea of his views would be superfluous on my part.” This copy with the signature of the original owner (“G.

Printed from stereos of the eleventh thousand, and the second issue of the final definitive text, Darwin having made some very minor corrections to the eighteenth thousand (vide Freeman). This Sixth edition, the last to be fully revised by Darwin and quite extensively re-written, includes a new chapter in refutation of objections to his theory, especially those of St. George Mivart, the Roman Catholic biologist. The Sixth was also the first edition to drop the word ‘ON’ from the title and the first edition of the ‘Origin’ to use the word ‘evolution’. The Glossary was compiled by W. S. Dallas at Darwin’s request. #66444 A$950.00

Cr. 8vo, Sixth Edition, Second Issue of Library Edition; Vol. I, pp. [ii], xxvi, 366, [2](adv., verso blank); portrait frontispiece (with tissue-guard), folding diagram; Vol. II, pp. vi, 340; glossary, index; original grey-green cloth; original navy blue chalk-surfaced endpapers; (spines a little dull & ends slightly worn; a little foxing at start of first volume); a nice set; very scarce. London; John Murray; 1891. ***Freeman 437. The Sixth Edition was the final edition extensively edited by Darwin and the first edition to drop the word ‘ON’ from the title and the first edition of the ‘Origin’ to use the word ‘evolution’. The Glossary was compiled by W. S. Dallas at Darwin’s request. This two-volume edition, the second in this form, it having first been issued in 1888 (Freeman 422) as the ‘Library Edition’, is a handsome work, with larger type and printed on thicker paper. The title-pages to this set are cancels, suggesting it may simply be a re-issue of the 1888 edition, and there is no indication of a ‘Library Edition’ as such, however the word ‘indigeens’ in Chapter IV has been corrected to ‘indigenes’ and the text is clearly printed from stereos, at least in part, so the reason for the cancels is somewhat obscure, and as such not noted by Freeman. Both of these two-volume issues are very seldom seen on the market, presumably being destined for libraries, and were probably produced in quite limited numbers, this issue having no ‘thousand’ designation and the original two-volume issue of 1888 sharing the Thirty-third Thousand designation with another one-volume issue having the regular pagination and small type of the one-volume sixth edition. #66452 A$850.00
