Description: On The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life Author: Darwin, Charles Title: On The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life Publication: London: John Murray, 1860 Edition: 2nd Edition Description: Hardcover. Second edition, with "Fifth Thousand" and the corrected "Linnean" spelling on the title page. Folding lithographed table facing page 117; 32 pages of publisher's advertisements, dated January 1860. Publisher's green cloth, with the binders ticket from Edmonds & Remnants of London to the rear endpaper. Professionally repaired to reinforce hinges and the head and tail of the spine. Faint fading of green cloth on the back panel. A faint dampstain is visible on the brown endpapers, but is not visible on the pages. ix, [1], 502, 32pp. An early gift inscription on the title page bears witness to an early female reader ("Imogen, from her loving Father"). An early reader, possibly Imogen, engaged thoughtfully with the text, leaving occasional neat pencil annotations in the margins. These include simple lines noting significant words, brief questions (such as whether horses fit the pattern of drooping ears in domestic animals described on page 11, or "has he ever been stung by a wasp I wonder?" on page 202) and longer responses (such as the suggestion that Lamarck has answered a question posed on page 170). Very Good.
