New Edition of The Descent of Man
Darwin recovered and pressed on with several projects. He subsequently tackled a new edition of the Descent of Man, incorporating ideas from Galton and new anecdotes. The manuscript was completed in April 1874, and the new edition was published on 13 November.
See Darwin from Insectivorous plants to Worms for his life and work in this period.

Famous quotes containing the words edition and/or descent:
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“My life has been one long descent into respectability.”
—Mandy Rice-Davies (b. 1944)
