1868172871London: John Murray 1868. Survival of the fittest First edition first issue of the first of Darwin's works to use the famous evolutionary phrase preceding by a year its first appearance in Origin of Species fifth edition 1869. "Survival of the fittest" was coined by the philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer on reading Origin and remains the most succinct summary of Darwin's theory of natural selection. Variation under Domestication represents "the first two chapters of the projected 'big book' on the origin of species of which Origin was an abstract; this was the only section of the 'big book' published during Darwin's lifetime" Norman. It was "intended to provide overwhelming evidence for the ubiquity of variation although it would also incidentally answer Lyell and Gray who maintained that variations had not occurred purely by chance but were providentially directed. Darwin showed that breeders indeed selected from a vast array of minute random variations. He gave numerous instances of the causes of variability including the direct effect of the conditions of life reversion the effects of use and disuse saltation prepotency and correlated growth. Variation also addressed a key criticism of Origin: that it lacked an adequate understanding of inheritance" ODNB. As such Variation is a full statement of the facts on which the theories of Origin were based leaving aside an account of human evolution for Descent of Man 1871. This is the only Darwin title published by Murray to appear in the larger format of demy octavo. The first issue was published in a run of 1500 copies for which this copy has all the relevant points: five errata in Volume I nine errata on seven lines in Volume II and the spine imprint on one line. The second issue with substantial textual variations was published in a run of 1250 copies in February and is distinguished by a single erratum in Volume I no errata in Volume II and a two-line imprint on the spine. 2 vols demy octavo. With 43 woodcuts in text. Vol. I with 32 pp. of publisher's advertisements dated April 1867 vol. II with 2 pp. of advertisements dated February 1868. Original green cloth spines lettered and decorated in gilt covers panelled in blind dark green coated endpapers binder's ticket of Edmonds & Remnants to rear pastedown of vol. I. Bookplates and markings of the Ashmolean Natural History Society to front pastedowns and title pages. Spine ends and corners bumped spine panel of vol. II creased at centre cloth lightly cockled and with damp stain to rear cover rear inner hinge of vol.
