Notes:

"A facsimile of the first edition."

"The orginal index of the Origin of Species reflects Darwin's interests and it therefore is of historical importance ... [It] makes no reference at all to many subjects in the Origin that are of great interest to the modern reader and particularly to the student of ideas. I have therefore enlarged the original index by including page references to many topics of special interest to the evolutionist and historian of ideas. I have not hesitated, when necessary, to use current terms for these subjects ..."--Page 497.
