About This Item
New York: D. Appelton and Company, 1871. First American Edition. Hardcover. Good. Dated 1871 on title page, but a later issue. Original brown cloth, yellow endpapers. Cheap paper toned. A coulple of signatures beginning to loosen. Darwin's book ends with the following lines: "We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system with all these exalted powers Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin."
