Description: Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. Here we offer the second and final edition, stated "Authorized Edition", of Charles Darwin's classic, The Descent of Man, published by D. Appleton and Company, New York, in 1899. This is the original form the book took, including gilt and ink-impressed silk nutmeg boards and numerous illustrations. Boards have only minor wear (please see pics). Period-inscribed endpapers. Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright and crisp text and illustrations. Book measures approximately 8 x 5-inches; 688 indexed pages. This early classic will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful and special gift.Please click HERE to peruse our other Darwin offerings. ** Have you seen all the amazing first and rare editions of iconic books we offer?
