The Works of Charles Darwin.

NY: Appleton, 1896 - 1898. . Fifteen volumes. Half-morocco & marbled boards, top edges gilt. Illustrated. A very clean and attractive set, no ownership marks of any kind, most volumes appear unread. There is some very slight chipping to the tops of the spines on a couple of volumes, and a dark smudge on one spine. The first authorized, collected edition of Darwin, edited by his son Francis. This set contains twelve titles in fifteen volumes (three works are in two volumes). Difficult to find in such nice condition. This is a heavy multi-volume set which will incur additional postage costs.

The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex.
The Origin of Species (2 volumes).
Journals of Researches.
Geological Observations.
Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Animals and Plants Under Domestication (2 volumes).
