It appeared again later in the same year as an independent book under the above title. Many years later, he wrote in his autobiography 'The success of this my first literary child always tickles my vanity more than any of my other books'…In 1845. John Murray asked Darwin if he would rewrite it, in a shorter and more popular style, for inclusion in his Colonial and Home Library.
