See Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin pages 112-113 Freeman does not mention copies with publishers's catalogue dated January 1872. Fertilisation of Orchids was concerned with working out in detail the relationship between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence for Origin of Species. This is the only Murray Darwin between 1859 and 1910 not bound in green cloth. Life and Letters of Darwin Volume 3 page 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying 'if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the "Origin" the author would have been canonised rather the anathematised by the natural theologians' and notes that a review in the Literary Churchman found only one fault 'that Mr Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying' "O Lord how manifold are thy works"; Sotheby's catalogue Darwin's Century: The Jeremy Norman Collection page 53 No.127.

1860réf. D-1184This is a second U.S. edition but the title page is missing. All other pages are present. Please see the photos for the condition. Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought. No being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task. Yet The Origin of Species is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life climate and physical environment and—by implication—within the human world. Written for the general reader in a style that combines the rigor of science with the subtlety of literature The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.
