Description

8vo., with a portrait frontispiece (original tissue guard present) and 6 illustrations in the text, neat signature on half-title; original dark green, rhea hunt blocked in gilt on upper board, gilt back, patterned endpapers, joints lightly rubbed corners very lightly bruised, lower hinge starting (but binding entirely sound), a little age-worn else a very good, clean copy. With 32p publisher's catalogue (dated January 1898 and partially unopened) bound in at end. Quite apart from its scientific value, Darwin's first published work (1839) is an important travel work in its own right. This is essentially a re-issue of Murray's 1890 edition (Freeman 28) with the postscript incorporated in the text, but preserving the gilt 'rhea' hunt on upper board and gilt '3/6' on backstrip first seen in the 1889 edition (Freeman 21). In addition Captain Fitzroy's name is reset as 'Fitz Roy' on title. Freeman (Darwin), 49.
