Freeman 1653. "Darwin's only paper in Philosophical Transactions the snappily titled Observations on the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy and of Other Parts of Lochaber in Scotland with an Attempt to Prove That They Are of Marine Origin 1839 describes parallel lines cut horizontally across the hillsides of Glen Roy and proposes that they had marine origins as had similar features he had seen at Coquimbo in Chile while on the Beagle expedition. In 1840 the lines were explained by French geologist Louis Agassiz as due to a lake formed in an ice age. After many years of argument Darwin conceded in 1862 that his paper was "one long gigantic blunder". In his autobiography Darwin claims "This paper was a great failure and I am ashamed of it." Wiki.

The title changes to The origin of species and a glossary compiled by W. S. Dallas appears. 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. 'Evolved' had been the last word of the text in all previous editions but 'evolution' had been omitted perhaps to avoid confusion with the use of the word by Herbert Spencer or with its more particular embryological meaning. The word had however been used in its transformist sense by Lyell as early as 1832 Principles of geology Vol. II p. 11. In this edition it occurs twice on page 201 and three times on page 424."

A note on the Yapp bindings: These are clearly 19th century bindings. I find no clues to identify the binder. The leather is limp. When I got this set all edges were curled but over time I have been able to flatten all the bottom edges and some of the front edges; so I believe all edges could be flattened to their original intention with some determination. Feel free to inquire in fact you probably should. Please see scans of the volumes you will receive. Shipping will be calculated at time of purchase. Buyer will pay actual shipping cost only.</p> Baldwin and Cradock hardcover
