The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, Vol. 1 of 2
During the seven years which have elapsed since the publication in 1886 of the first edition of this work, I have continued to attend to the same subjects, as far as lay in my power; and I have thus accumulated a large body of additional facts, chiefly through the kindness of many correspondents. Of these facts I have been able here to use only those which seemed to me the more important. I have omitted some statements, and corrected some errors, the discovery of which I owe to my reviewers. Many additional references have been given. The eleventh chapter, and that on Pangenesis, are those which have been most altered, parts having been re-modelled; but I will give a list of the more important alterations for the sake of those who may possess the first edition of this book.
