Sobre este artículo
London : John Murray, 1888. Fourth thousand. Second Edition, Sixth Issue. Octavo, publisher's blind blocked dark green cloth, spine lettered in gilt (slight rubbing to head and foot), pp. x, 208, 32 (publisher's catalogue dated April, 1889), lithographed illustrations in the text; foxing to preliminaries, uncut and unopened, a clean, fresh copy. The movements and habits of climbing plants was first printed in Vol. IX of the Journal of the Linnean Society of London (1865). It first appeared in book form in 1875, much enlarged and revised from the journal publication. Following Origin of Species (1859), Darwin spent much time studying plants to produce evidence for his theory of natural selection. The book stands as his second work on plants, with the first being On the various contrivances by which British and foreign orchids are fertilised by insects (1862). Freeman 844. This edition includes the Appendix to the Preface which first appeared in the first issue of the Third Thousand in 1882.

Our stock at Douglas Stewart Fine Books is diverse: we have rare books across all fields, but our strengths are in travel and exploration – particularly of Australia and the Pacific – and Australian art. In addition to rare books, we deal in all types of heritage material, including photographs, manuscripts, maps and globes, and fine art. Every month we issue a new online catalogue of New Acquisitions, and recommend that you join our email list to be the first to see what's available. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any works you see online – we are always happy to assist with your enquiries.
We love meeting new people and welcome visitors to our shop, which is open six days a week. If you cannot make it to Melbourne, you can find us at major fairs in London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Toronto, San Francisco, Boston, Hong Kong or Sydney. We're pleased to invite you to any of these exhibitions as our guest.
Last, but not least, we buy books – from important single items to entire libraries – and we'd be pleased to provide advice on the best way to sell your collection.
