Translated by Szymon Dickstein, Warsaw: Przegląd Tygodniowy Publishing House, at the Printing House of the Weekly Review, ul. On the Origin of Species by means of natural selection, or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life. The purpose of the following text is to explain the causes of such a "bibliophilic phenomenon".Ībout the origin of species through natural selection, that is, about the maintenance of more perfect races in the struggle for existence. All copies are in period bindings, which is not without significance for the further discussion. In the photos posted here, I have shown three copies of Darwin's most important work in three different variants that are found in the reading (and antiquarian) circulation: only the first title page with the first and second title cards only with the second title card. Charles Darwin - On the Origin of Species - the first Polish edition and its variants.Ībout why the first Polish complete edition of Charles Darwin On the Origin of Species (Warsaw 1884-1885) has several title variants, as well as the estimated size of the Polish edition compared to the British edition
