London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1923. First edition, first printing. Octavo. Publisher's original maroon cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Bottom edge untrimmed. Illustrated with a black and white photographic frontispiece and numerous black and white drawings. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little creasing to the spine and a few small marks to the boards. The contents with tanning to the endpapers are otherwise in very good order. The unclipped dustwrapper with a little marking and minor creasing and chipping to the extremities is otherwise also very good. A wide-ranging collection of articles by the British zoologist, evolutionary biologist and disciple of Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley, Sir Edwin Ray Lankester (1847-1929). The pieces in the present collection "all relate to the study of living things ranging from the phagocyte to the gorilla, from the pond-snail to the Russian giant, from facts about longevity to theories as to human progress and the cruelty of Nature".
Uncommon in the early original dustwrapper.
