About This Item
London: John Murray, 1872. Sixth Edition (Twelfth Thousand). Generally regarded as the last edition, the sixth was extensively revised and included a new chapter, VII, inserted to refute the views of the Roman Catholic biologist St. George Mivart, and a glossary compiled by W.S.Dallas. The title was changed to The Origin of Species, and the word ‘evolution’ in this text for the first time. “Prepared under the advice of Lyell and Hooker, this was Darwin’s greatest work and one of the most important books ever published…The evidence for the existence of evolution and that it resulted from the survival of the fittest by natural selection is marshaled and set out as never before. Garrison considered this “the most wonderful piece of synthesis in the history of science”. Darwin’s influence on biology was fundamental, its full implications being by no means yet exhausted.” (Garrison & Morton) Freeman 392. cfGarrison & Morton 220. cfGrolier/Horblit 23b. cfPrinting and the Mind of Man 344b. 8vo. pp. xxi, 458. folding diagram. original cloth (spine ends frayed, inner hinges partly cracked)
