Item description from seller

This is an original 1860 John Murray, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Second Edition, Fifth Thousand. With the January 1860 ads. The book retains its original green Murray cloth. The blind stamped decorative boards are present. The gilt spine lettering is bright and readable. The folding diagram is attached, complete and clean with a tear at joint for approximately 25mm as photographed. The January 1860 publisher catalogue is present in full. The text block is tight and clean throughout with little evidence of foxing. The edges are untrimmed. The coated brown endpapers are original with the binders stamp. The volume contains Victorian scientific marginalia on approximately one third of the pages and several inserted manuscript leaves. These include notes on the Galapagos Archipelago with interpretations and opinions from the owner. This material appears period and adds genuine provenance and historical interest. The boards are rubbed across the entire surface with the blind stamped decoration softened but still easily visible. The corners show some cloth loss. The spine shows some fraying at both ends. The front hinge shows a visible split with the inner lining exposed. Both hinges remain firmly attached and hold the text block securely. There is a visible split within the text block where the sewing is exposed at page 121 and 193. The section is open but the gatherings remain attached and the text block still holds together. This is a common feature in original Murray bindings of this period and does not affect completeness or stability. The binding is worn but the book is still fully intact and readable. It is completely original and has not been repaired or restored. The included custom made clamshell box protects the volume well. This book has also benefited from storage in a climate controlled room. Collectors who value originality and period provenance will recognise the appeal of this example. It is a worn but honest survivor of the earliest 1860 issue. It is exactly as it left the hands of its Victorian owner. Photographs transparently show condition and any defects. Please ask for more detail or photographs if needed. Thank you.
