He had indeed published a paper on mould in 1838 in the "Proceedings of the Geological Society of London" Vol. ii pp. 5-74-76 which he had read to the Society in the previous year. The book was remarkably successful selling 6000 copies within a year and 13000 before the end of the century .

DARWIN, Charles
The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms with Observations on their Habits.
London: John Murray 1881. A fresh copy of his last book in the original cloth First edition first issue of the author's final book. Published the year before his death it was a remarkable success and sold 6000 copies within a year initially selling faster than the Origin of Species had done. The culmination of ten years of intensive research and close observation on the interaction of earthworms with their physical environment and their influence on great earth movements the work was Darwin's "leitmotif explaining vast changes by minute incremental events: mountain uplift evolving life and now worms transforming the soil" ODNB. The first impression of 2000 copies was apparently split between two equal issues the first without a "thousand" statement as here and the second with "second thousand" on the title; all issues thereafter had such a statement. Octavo. Woodcut and engraved figures in the text. Publisher's advertisement leaf at rear. Original green cloth spine lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind brown coated endpapers. Ownership inscription on first blank. Cloth with couple of bumps and tiny wear to corners but fresh overall superficial splits to sound inner hinges outer leaves foxed contents clean inconsequential paper flaw to lower corner of pp. 1/2.

A sharp example of this work by the leading mind in evolutionary biology. One of the most important figures in human history English naturalist geologist and biologist Charles Darwin became internationally renowned for his contributions to the science of evolution. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However many favored competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Published in 1883 The Formation Of Vegetable Mould Through The Action of Worms covers in depth the important role of the earthworm on the constantly changing topsoil of the earth.
