By CHARLES DARWIN, F.R.S.,
WITH MAPS AND UPWARDS OF 100 ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE PLACES VISITED AND DESCRIBED.
Chiefly from Sketches taken on the Spot by ROBERT TAYLOR PRITCHETT.
Medium 8vo. 21s.
*.* The object of this edition is to aid the author's description by actual representations of the most interesting places and objects of Natural History referred to in them. This has been effected by securing the service of an artist who has visited the countries which Darwin describes.
"This is an edition de luxe of the first work written by our great naturalist. Anybody who has read it is not likely to have forgotten it. It is a kind of natural history 'Robinson Crusoe.' It was during that famous voyage that Darwin made the observations and laid the foundation for his famous theory of Natural Selection. The present edition is by far the best and most attractive hitherto published. The illustrations are artistic in the highest degree, as everybody will understand when he knows they are by the artist of Lady Brassey's 'Sunbeam.' Most of them are from sketches made on the spot by Mr. Pritchett, with Darwin's book by his side."--Science Gossip.
