It remains thus until the thirty-ninth thousand of , but in the forty-first of , which was reset, Francis Darwin altered the first to Dalton, so that there were then two mistakes.

The format of this edition changes to octavo in eights; the cases, of which there are four conspicuous variants, are entirely new, and the spine title is reduced to Origin of species. Inserted advertisements, dated September , are usually present. The sixth edition , which is usually regarded as the last, appeared in February Murray's accounts show that 3, copies were printed, but this total presumably included both those with eleventh thousand on the title page and those with twelfth, the latter being notably less common.

It is again extensively revised and contains a new chapter, VII. The edition was aimed at a wider public and printed in smaller type, the volume shorter again and giving the general impression of a cheap edition, which at 7s. The title changes to The origin of species, and a glossary , compiled by W. It is in this edition that the word ' evolution ' occurs for the first time. It had been used in the first edition of The descent of man in the previous year, but not before in this work. The word had however been used in its transformist sense by Lyell as early as Principles of geology, Vol.

In this edition it occurs twice on page and three times on page The title page reads 'Sixth edition, with additions and corrections. Three misprints have been noticed in this text, the first of which persists in all British and American editions, except those based on earlier texts, to this day; it is also transferred to translations.

The last sentence of the third paragraph of Chapter XIV p.

Darwin Online: On the Origin of Species

The word 'observed' makes nonsense of this sentence and, as the previous five editions read 'hidden as it is by various degrees of modification', is clearly a misprint for 'obscured'. In the glossary of scientific terms, the word 'indigenes' is misprinted 'indigeens'; this persists until In the Library Edition of that year the text reads 'indigeens', but there is an inserted erratum leaf Vol. The one volume thirty-third thousand of has 'indigeens', but the thirty-fifth, of the same year, has 'indigens'; this latter form continues in all further Murray printings.

Darwin himself uses 'indigenes' several times in the fourth chapter of the first and all later editions. Both forms are found in editions in print today. Finally, in this edition, the opening words of the Historical Sketch read 'I will here a give a brief sketch. This continues unnoticed through seventeen printings from the same stereos; but it was corrected when the whole book was reset for the forty-first thousand of This edition was reprinted, from stereos, later in the same year as the thirteenth thousand, and, again as the thirteenth, in On the verso of the title leaf of that of there are advertisements for nine of Darwin's works, whereas the reprint has ten.

The addition is the Expression of the emotions in its tenth thousand of As the first edition of the Expression of the emotions came out in November , the first issue of the thirteenth thousand must have been in press before this time, or else the new book would have been added. The issue has no inserted advertisements, but copies of may have them dated April The printing of is the final text as Darwin left it.

Peckham drew attention to the little known fact that there are small differences between the text of and that of He knew that the printings of and were from unaltered stereos of , but was unable to see a copy of and had therefore to leave it uncertain whether these differences occur for the first time in that printing or in that of which he used for collation.

The issue was of 1, copies only. This number is as small as any, being equalled only by that of the first edition; and, whilst the latter has been carefully conserved in libraries, no attention seems to have been paid to this one. It does not seem to have been previously recognized as the first printing of the final text, and is remarkably hard to come by. It was, incidentally, this edition which Samuel Butler had beside him when writing Evolution old and new in This printing is the eighteenth thousand, but, as it is important to know what was the first issue of the final text, it should be noticed that advertisements for The origin of species in other works by Darwin around mention the existence of both sixteenth and seventeenth thousands as well as this one.

These may be summarized as follows:. No copies of the sixteenth or seventeenth thousands have ever been recorded; it is difficult to see from the printing records how they can exist, although they may. We know that the eighteenth was in print in , yet the sixteenth is advertised three times in the following year.

It is more likely that the compositor was making up from bad copy.

The title page of this issue bears 'Sixth edition, with additions and corrections to There are no additions to the text and the pagination, from stereos, is unchanged. There are however corrections, slight but undoubtedly those of Darwin himself.

Biodiversity Heritage Library

The two most obvious of these are the change from Cape de Verde Islands to Cape Verde Islands, and the change from climax to acme. The index is not altered so that Cape de Verde is retained there in this edition and later issues and editions, including the two volume Library Edition, which was entirely reset. The reason for the change of the name of these islands is not known, and Cape de Verde is retained long afterwards in issues of the Journal of researches printed from stereos. However Darwin had no copyright in his Journal and only Cape Verde is found in Vegetable mould and worms which was first published in There is also one small change in sense in Chapter XIV.

The details of these changes can be found in Peckham. In , and subsequently, the same stereos were used for the very many issues which appeared, in a variety of bindings. The first one to appear in a standard binding was the twenty-fourth thousand of All these issues, right up to the last in , continue to include the summary of differences and the historical sketch. An entirely new setting in larger type, was made for the Library Edition of in two volumes and, after two reissues in that form, the same stereos, repaginated, were used for the standard edition of the Edwardian period.

This Library Edition is uniform with a similar edition of The descent of man, and the same cloth was used for Life and letters. The cheap edition was entirely reset for the forty-first thousand of The paper covered issues, which have been referred to above, have the title embossed on the front cover, and were produced for the remarkable price of one shilling, whilst the same printing in cheap cloth cost 2s.

Both of these, the latter particularly, are hard to find.

On the Origin of Species

There are two issues by another publisher in the copyright period. In the first issue, the title page and text are those of the forty-fifth thousand of , with a list of Sir John's choices tipped in before the half-title leaf. Seven hundred and fifty sets of the sheets were bought from Murray and issued in this form by Routledge and Kegan Paul in The second issue consists of Murray's fifty-sixth thousand, of , and there is no printed indication that this is a part of Sir John's series. The green cloth binding is however uniform with the rest of the series.

The first edition came out of copyright in November , and Ward Lock printed it in the same year in the Minerva Library new series. The statement by Darlington, in Watt's reprint of , that his is the only reprinting of the first edition is not true. Most of the other early reprints are based on the fifth thousand, but that of Collins in is based on the third edition. Modern reprints usually state that they are based on the sixth edition of , but they are actually based on that of There have been about reprints in English in this century, many of them in standard library series such as Everyman and the World's Classics.

Some are important because they are introduced by leading scholars of evolution and show the changing attitudes towards Darwinism over the years; one, the Everyman of , has even had its introduction reprinted by the Evolution Protest Movement. Almost all of them are bread and butter reprints in small type, but at a reasonable price. However there is one spacious edition, that for the Limited Editions Club of New York in ; this was designed and printed by the scholar-printer George Dunstan, at the Griffin Press, Adelaide. There are the usual abridged versions and extracts for schools, and even a coupon edition from Odhams Press.

There have been two facsimiles of the first edition; the earlier, in , omits the original index and substitutes its own; the later, in , is twenty millimetres taller than the original. In a concordance was published: Weinshank and Timothy T. In January , Asa Gray was arranging for an American issue of the first edition to be published in Boston, but two New York houses, Appleton and Harpers, were also considering it. The former got their edition out in the middle of January and Harpers withdrew.

Darwin wrote in his diary for May 22nd that it was of 2, copies, but there were four separate printings in and it is not clear whether this figure refers to the first alone. The title pages of the first two of these are identical, but the first has only two quotations on the verso of the half-title leaf whereas the second has three; the one from Butler's Analogy was added after Whewell and Bacon instead of between them as in the English second edition. The University of Virginia holds all four and their copies have been examined with a Hinman scanner.

The texts of the first three are identical, in spite of the statement on the title page of the third, and follow that of the first English. The fourth is considerably altered. It includes a supplement of seven pages at the end of author's 'additions and alterations. It also contains the historical sketch, in its earlier and shorter form, as a preface. All four contain the whale-bear story in full. This total of twenty-nine is higher than any other scientific work, except for the first books of Euclid.

The Autobiography also gives Bohemian and Japanese; the former refers to the Serbian, but he was misinformed about the latter; the first appeared in Darwin was not happy about the first German translation. It was done from the second English edition by H. Bronn, who had, at Darwin's suggestion, added an appendix of the difficulties which occurred to him; but he had also excised bits of which he did not approve. This edition also contains the historical sketch in its shorter and earlier form. The text was tactfully revised by J. Carus who remained the most faithful and punctual of all Darwin's translators.

There were also difficulties with the first French. Mile Royer, who Darwin described as 'one of the cleverest and oddest women in Europe' and wished 'had known more of natural history', added her own footnotes. He was not really happy until the third translation by Edmond Barbier appeared in The first Spanish, of , contains two letters from Darwin which have not been printed elsewhere.
