1865A35100London: Longman Green Longman Roberts & Green and Williams and Norgate 1865. 2 118 13 woodcuts to text. 8vo. HB. 8vo 219x140mm recent half calf marbled boards gilt title to spine. Occasional pencil marginalia. Fine copy. Rare first edition offprint issue of Darwin's work on climbing plants. An exceptionally scarce survival in this offprint form seldom encountered on the market. An item for the discerning collector of Darwiniana.The first edition of this work was published on June 12 1865 and occurs in three forms - all from the same setting of type. The first makes up most of a double part Nos 33 and 34 of Vol. 9 of the 'Journal of the Linnean Society of London Botany'. It was also issued simultaneously as an offprint which occurs in two distinct forms. Both have tipped in title leaves which differ in the note on the source of the original and the publisher's imprint. The copy offered here is Freeman's first form 834 with the note on the source of the original given as From the JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY and the imprint the same as that of the part except that it has been reset and there is no comma after Roberts. This is the commercial offprint which was offered for sale by the Linnean Society at 4s. The second form of the offprint is assumed to be the author's offprint of which Freeman had only seen one copy. Freeman Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History 1973 64: 293. The two forms of the offprint also differ in the wrapper this copy is bound without the wrapper.The second edition of this work was later published in book form by John Murray in 1875 and is a revised and enlarged version of this paper.Freeman 834.
