The Selected Works of Charles Darwin - The Westminster Edition in Fiften Volumes Complete - Charles Darwin

8vo - 8.5 Inches. Appleton, New York. 1897. Complete in 15 volumes. An extremely tidy and unopened set of this first edition of Darwin's works. It would appear this set was bought, placed on a shelf, and never actually read. No 107 of 1000 sets printed. Bound in original dark red cloth gilt, with gilt signature of Darwin in facsimile to upper boards and gilt fleuron to spine. Spines a trifle faded but uniformly so. Otherwise minimal shelfwear and bumping only. Very tidy and tight. Top edges gilt. Minor small splodge to spine of Vol I of Life and Letters. Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - Portrait frontispiece, v, (1), 372 plates + 7 plates. The Different Forms and Flowers on Plants of the Same Species - frontispiece, xxiv, 351 pages. Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs - portrait frontispiece, xx, 366 pages. 3 folding maps/plates all in excellent order. The Descent of Man - portrait frontispiece. xvi, 688 pages. Animals and Plants under Domestication (two vols) - portrait frontispiece, xii, 461; frontispiece, vii, (1), 487 pages. The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms - frontispiece, vi, 326 pages. Insectivorous Plants - portrait frontispiece, xiv, 376 pages. Journal of Researches - portrait frontispiece, xii, 512 pages. The Origin of Species (two vols) - portrait frontispiece, xxvi, 365 ; frontispiece, vii, (1), 338 pages. Life and Letters (two vols) - portrait frontispiece, viii, 558 ; portrait frontispiece, iv, (2), facsimile letter, 562 pages. The Power of Movement in Plants - portrait frontispiece. x, 592 pages. Very slight crease to extreme corner of frontispice and minor wrinkling to tissueguard. Geological Observations - xiii, (1), 648 pages + 5 plates including a long fold-out geological cross-section. This is the only volume with a flaw ; the cross-section is split along one fold where it has been misfolded and has some loss along this tear. Otherwise this is a remarkably original set, and you would be very hard-pressed to find a more tidy example.
