Edited and with an introduction by Edward O. Wilson. With text illustrations. (4to) original brown and tan boards, illustrated dust jacket, matching slipcase. First Edition.

Signed by Wilson on the title page. "Undertaking this challenging endeavor 123 years after Darwin's death, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson has written an introductory essay for the occasion, while providing new, insightful introductions to each of the four volumes and an afterword that examines the fate of evolutionary theory in an era of religious resistance. In addition, Wilson has crafted a creative new index to accompany these four texts, which links the nineteenth-century, Darwinian evolutionary concepts to contemporary biological thought. Beautifully produced, this boxed edition includes restored versions of the original illustrations." Scarce signed copy.

Fine.
