1871
A comprehensive collection of Darwin's scientific publications written predominantly in the mid to late 19th century. This compilation serves as an organized index to a variety of Darwin’s seminal works, including ''On the Origin of Species,'' ''The Voyage of the Beagle,'' and others that delve into topics such as evolution, natural selection, and species variation. The index is a valuable tool for historians and students of science, providing easy access to Darwin's vast contributions to biology and natural philosophy. The opening of the work presents a table of contents listing various editions of Darwin's key texts, alongside essays that outline the fundamental principles he explored throughout his career. The index not only references the numerous publications but also indicates their respective editions, thereby guiding the reader through the evolution and refinement of Darwin's ideas on natural history. This opening portion sets the stage for both casual readers and serious scholars to engage deeply with the texts that have greatly influenced the field of biology and our understanding of evolution.
