Beschreibung

1st Edition, 8vo, (18.5cm), iii-x, 462pp. Recent half green calf, with fresh plain brown endpapers. Bound without half-title. 30 text woodcuts Binding sound. Some toning to edges. Occasional smudge, but generally very clean internally. Several very small ink marks to lower text block. A very presentable Darwin first edition. "These meticulous studies form a minor contribution to the evolutionary series by the study of the adaptations of such plants to impoverished conditions. The book was published on 2 July 1875, in a standard binding without inserted advertisements. It is stated that 3,000 were printed, of which 2,700 were sold to the trade at once. This cannot be strictly true because both the second and third thousands of the same year stated their thousands on the title pages" (R. B. Freeman). Freeman F1217.
