London: John Murray, 1863.. First edition, 8vo, xii, 520, 32 advertisement pp. Two plates and 58 text figures, three leaves of contemporary manuscript notes on the text loosely inserted. Recent maroon morocco, an excellent copy. The last major work of Lyell's life, it was coloured by the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species" four years earlier. Lyell couldn't bring himself to champion the new theories, and his impartial overview of the competing theories in the later chapters disappointed Darwin, although he admitted "The whole... struck me as a compilation, but of the highest quality, for when possible the facts have been verified on the spot..." Bailey pp187-201.

Second American edition of Lyell’s groundbreaking work on the evolution of man which explored the prehistoric existence of humans before and through the previous ice age, and expounded on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection which had thrown the Victorian Era into controversy just four years before. He presents much prehistoric evidence, including the skull found at Neanderthal indicating that man had evolved over centuries.

London: John Murray, 1863. Second Revised Edition. This is the British geologist’s third great work, which went through three editions in one year. “In this he gave a general survey of the arguments for man’s early appearance on the earth derived from the discoveries of flint implements in post-Pliocene strata in the Somme valley and elsewhere; he discussed also the deposits of the Glacial epoch, and in the same volume he gave in his adhesion to Darwin’s theory of the origin of species.” (Encyc. Brit., 11th Edn.) Lyell was a close personal friend of Darwin and was one of the first scientists to support the Origin but he had trouble accepting natural selection as the main motive force in evolution on religious grounds. Freeman 2369. 8vo. pp. xvi, 528. wood-engraved frontis. text illus. A very nice copy in original blind & gilt-stamped cloth (some foxing to outer leaves)
