| 内容記述 | In 1859, Charles Darwin published Origin of Species as the abstract of the Big Species Book. He published revised editions of the Origin five times, 2nd ed.（ 1860）, 3rd ed.（ 1861）, 4th ed.（ 1866）, 5th ed.（ 1869）, and 6th ed.（ 1872）. In this paper, differences of formats over the six editions are described, and alterations of Darwin’s attitude toward writing and revising the Origin are investigated by analysing the correspondence of Darwin with John Murray, Charles Lyell, Thomas Henry Huxley and others. In writing the 1st ed. and the 2nd ed., Darwin wanted to complete the Big Book. He showed unwillingness to devote time to writing the Origin. But at the stage of the 3rd ed., he gave up the idea of completing the Big Book and decided to expand upon his theory of the biological evolution through the Origin. After ten years from the 1st ed., Darwin’s idea of the branching evolution from a common ancestor had been widely acknowledged. In the concluding chapter of the 6th ed., Darwin states, “Now things are wholly changed, and almost every naturalist admits the great principle of evolution.” （p. 424）. This is Darwin’s declaration of victory. The most important object of the Origin had been accomplished. After the 6th ed., therefore, Darwin did not try to revise the Origin, and concentrated his energy on studying botany. The 6th ed. was published as a cheap edition. The appearance of the 6th ed. was markedly different from the previous editions. The format from the 1st ed. to 4th ed. was post octavo. The 5th ed. was crown octavo. The 6th ed. was shorter and narrower than the 5th ed. The types of the text in the previous editions were 10-point, but 8-point in the 6th ed. In the previous editions, texts were 35 lines in a page, but 45 lines in the 6th ed. The previous editions are regarded as fair specimens of Victorian typography. But the 6th ed. is difficult to read. From the 1st ed. to 4th ed., the price of the Origin was 14s. The 5th ed. was 15s. The 6th ed. was half of the 5th ed., i.e., 7s6d. The previous editions were type printing and were never reprinted. The 6th ed. was stereotype printing and was reprinted almost annually. After the Education Act of 1870, the readership of England was enlarged. Murray’s objective in publishing the cheap edition was for the new readership. The 6th ed. sold well, but it is probable that many people were kept from reading the book by its unattractive appearance. Now the Origin has become a classical book of science and has been published in various forms in various languages. However, it is rare that the book is read thoroughly. The Origin is the typical book that is bought but not read. |
