As Freeman notes, this facsimile was made from a defective copy, and issued, at least initially, lacking signature 2Q (= pp. 593-608), however this copy has had the deficiency very skilfully remedied (possibly by the original publisher?) with the insertion of the missing leaves, so is a quite complete facsimile of the original edition. #66367 A$165.00

7 Darwin, Charles JOURNAL OF RESEARCHES INTO THE NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY of the Countries Visited during the Voyage of H M S Beagle Round the World, under the Command of Capt Fitz Roy, R N By Charles Darwin, M A , F R S New Edition Cr 8vo, Second Edition, reissued; pp viii, 520(last blank); 14 text illustrations, index; original red cloth of Murray’s Colonial & Home Library (spine a little faded), uncut; (slight foxing of edges & a few leaves; a slight crease to front board); a very nice copy; rare London; John Murray; 1852 ***Sabin 18647 (third mention); Not in Ferguson; Freeman 17, but without the series title implied in his entry (and never present). The binding has the words ‘MURRAY’S COLONIAL & HOME LIBRARY’ in a circular design in blind on front cover, but only ‘MURRAY’ in gilt at foot of spine. Freeman’s commentary (page 36) also suggests that the binding of his 17 is devoid of any identification of the series: “gives no indication, in gilt or blind, that the work is one of a series; in this case the edges are sprinkled whereas they are white in the series cases. It was again reprinted in the same series in 1852 and put out in the same case as the third issue [i.e. that referred to above], this time with changed date ....” This copy therefore may represent an unrecorded variant. #66370 A$2000.00

The final definitive text, with the addition of a Postscript on Page vii (page viii blank) and the Contents (pp. ix-xv). The four Contents leaves are printed on creamier paper than that used for the earlier preliminaries and the main text (as with all other copies we have seen). Darwin made no further alterations or additions to the text, despite the many subsequent editions (a real gold mine for John Murray and later other publishers), Darwin having sold the copyright to Murray for £150. #2172 A$2400.00

London; John Murray; 1890 ***Ferguson 8958b; Freeman 59 (variant coloured cloth), this being one of the copies including the unlisted Plan of the Beagle not present in all copies. This plan was drawn by Philip Gidley King, a midshipman on the Beagle under Fitz Roy, and the son of Philip Parker King, commander of the Adventure which accompanied the Beagle on her first surveying expedition (1826-30), and earlier (1818-22) surveyed the western coast of Australia. Philip Gidley King, grandson of his namesake, Captain Philip Gidley King, Governor of New South Wales 1800-1806, became a prominent citizen in his own right, as a Member of the Legislative Council of his native New South Wales. This illustrated edition was no doubt issued in response to Nelson’s edition first published in 1888, the first substantially illustrated edition (see items 36-38 below). #66379 A$450.00
