Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A facsimile of the 1859 first edition of Charles Darwin's classic
work, On the Origin of Species.
Initially received with muted applause, Darwin's The Origin of
Species by Means of Natural Selection was soon recognized as the
breakthrough scientific advance that explained the evidence of the
world around us, the place and history of humans, the connections
between environment and evolution. Still regarded by some as
radical, Darwin's contribution to world knowledge is immeasurable.
This new, popular edition has been edited and abridged for the
modern reader, to introduce Darwin's research in a digestible form.
The FLAME TREE Foundations series features core publications which
together have shaped the cultural landscape of the modern world,
with cutting-edge research distilled into pocket guides designed to
be both accessible and informative.
An instant bestseller in 1859, few books have had such a
revolutionary impact and left such a lasting impression as On the
Origin of Species. Possibly the most important and challenging
scientific book ever published, Darwin's language remains
surprisingly modern and direct and is presented here in a faithful
facsimile edition. The text is taken from the second edition
(1860), which is the same as the first except for some minor
corrections and so is the purest distillation of Darwin's original
vision. It includes a new foreword by David Williams, Researcher at
the Natural History Museum,and the introductory appendix, An
Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin,
which first appeared in the third edition (1861). As such it is an
ideal scholarly resource as well an attractive and excellent value
edition for the general reader.
