Vol. II title page verso has advertisements for 9 other works by Darwin. With 16pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear of both vols as in first issue.

The Descent of Man was the first of Darwin's works to include the word 'evolution' preceding its use in the 1872 sixth edition of The Origin of Species previous editions of the Origin had used 'descent with modification'. 'The Descent understood by Darwin as a sequel to the Origin was written with a maturity and depth of learning that marked Darwin's status as an elite gentleman of science'; while it perhaps 'caused less of an outcry' than the earlier work it 'brought the full force of evolutionary proposals directly into the heart of ordinary Victorian life' ODNB.

In his study of infants and children including a delightfully objective study of his own baby's smiles and pouts of the insane of painting and sculpture of cats and dogs and monkeys and of the ways that people in different cultures express their feelings Darwin's insights have not been improved upon by modern science.
