Beschreibung

Printed by William Godbid, for William Shrowsbery at the sign of the Bible in Duke-Lane. Rebound in half-calf with gilt titles, marbled boards and raised bands. New eps. Lacks original portrait but has a later, 19th century portrait by J.W. Cook pasted to front paste-down ep. A handsome item. One of the earliest (if not the earliest) works to discuss evolution according to Garrison and Morton. As well as anticipating Darwin, Hale also seems to anticipate Malthus by using the expression "geometrical proportion" for the growth of population from a single family.
