1861ref. 42820878THIRD EDITION published on April 1861. Two thousand copies were printed. This edition "was extensively altered and is of interest for the addition of a table of differences between it and the second edition a table which occurs in each subsequent edition and also for the addition of the historical sketch. The sketch which was written to satisfy complaints that Darwin had not sufficiently considered his predecessors in the general theory of evolution had already appeared in a shorter form in the German edition as well as in the fourth American printing where it is called a preface" Freeman. On the Origin of Species is "certainly the greatest biological book ever written" Freeman and "the most important single work in science" Dibner. Darwin's theory of the origin of species by means of natural selection arose out of his studies in the 1830s during and after the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. From 1831 to 1836 Darwin sailed around the world on the Beagle. During this five-year voyage Darwin and the Beagle visited the Galapagos Islands Brazil Argentina Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru Tahiti Australia New Zealand and other islands and countries finally returning to England by sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. Darwin observed "It appears to me that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist than a journey in distant countries." The voyage of the Beagle was "the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science knowing the importance of evidence almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since creation but had undergone change. … The experiences of his five years … and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought" DSB. Over the coming thirty years Darwin refined the ideas that had germinated aboard the Beagle and finally published them in On the Origin of Species. Darwin concluded his book "There is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst this plan has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved." Darwin's ideas about evolution and natural selection are the underpinnings of modern biological science. Moreover they have given us a new way of viewing and talking about the world. "Darwin not only not only drew an entirely new picture of the workings of organic nature; he revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the order of natural things. The recognition that constant change is the order of the universe had finally been established" Printing and the Mind of Man 344b. Freeman 381. Original green cloth.

Yellow coated endpapers and pastedowns. With several in-text illustrations. Freeman 129-131. Oxford DNB Adrian Desmond James Moore and Janet Browne "Darwin Charles Robert 1809–1882". With the postscript in volume two both versos of our title pages are blank. Both title pages dated 1871. These volumes contain the first appearance of the word evolution and a verbal description of humanity's ancient ancestors which was no doubt distrubing to Victorian sensibilities. Darwin painted human ancestors as hairy tree dwellers. The majority of the book however focuses on sexual selection among other animal species. The first print run was very popular selling 5000 copies right away. A landmark work in biological science a paradigm shift in the way the animal kingdom's history was understood. Both volumes have been rebacked within the past 40 years with strips of the original spine cloth laid down later endpapers placed before and after the originals in each volume. A few leaves reattached and realigned to the gutters with archival tape. D. Appleton and Company hardcover
