1892Best.-Nr. 74513London: John Murray 1892. Second Edition Revised - Fourth Thousand. Hardcover. Very Good. First published in 1868 this book began as an expansion of the first two chapters of On the Origin of Species 1859: "Variation under Domestication" and "Variation under Nature" and it developed into one of his largest works; Darwin 1809-82 referred to it as his "big book." The first volume deals with the variations introduced into species as a result of domestication through changes in climate diet breeding and an absence of predators. He began with an examination of dogs and cats comparing them with their wild counterparts and moved on to investigate horses and asses; pigs cattle sheep and goats; domestic rabbits; domestic pigeons; fowl; and finally cultivated plants. The work is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation and a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolutionary biology. Octavo two volumes: xiv 473 p. x 495 p. with publisher's advertisements 43 textual figures and numerous tables. Original brown cloth bindings with gilt titles and decorative black and blind stamping.
