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.

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
