Description: S.-Peterburg (St. Petersburg), Tipografiia A. A. Porokhovshchikova, 1896. Late 19th-century Edition. Late 19th-century edition; 8 1/2 x 6; pp. [3], 6-232, [2], I-XXIV; rebound in 1/4 cloth and marbled paper over boards; small rubbed spots to corners; thin strip from remnants of original wraps along hinge on title page and a few scattered spots; illustrated with 24 wood-engraved plates; very good condition. A beautifully-illustrated edition of Darwin's work on the domestication of animals and plants, it was first published in Russian in November of 1867, two months before the actual English-language edition, as the translator - philosopher and paleontologist Vladimir Kovalevskii - had personally corresponded with Darwin and had translated and prepared the text for the Russian publication well in advance. No copies in OCLC or in the trade (as of December 2018). Very good .
