Description

Reprinted from the Second(1874) English edition, revised and augmented, for Burt's Library of the World's Best Books. Illustrated with numerous figures and drawings throughout the text just as the original but with the addition of a frontispiece portrait of Charles Darwin. 8vo, in the publisher's original dark olive cloth, the upper cover embossed with Burt's logo in blind, the spine gilt lettered and with the Burt logo in gilt. vii, 797pp., 8 pp. catalogue. A nice vintage copy in format and appearance quite similar to the second edition from which it was reprinted. The cloth remains dark and rich with just a bit of mellowing and minor wear at the extremities, internally with a touch of age to the paper but clean and solid, a few old notations or marks in pencil and easily removable, hinges a bit shaky.
