Edition: Second Edition - Revised
During the seven years which have elapsed since the publication in 1868 of the first edition of this work, the author continued to attend to the same subjects, as far as lay in his power: and he has thus accumulated a large body of additional facts, chiefly through the kindness of many correspondents. Of these facts he has been able to use only these which seemed to him the most important. He has omitted some statements, and corrected some errors, the discovery of which he owed to reviewers. Many additional references have been given. The eleventh chapter, and that on Pangenesis are those which have been most altered, parts having been remodelled; but he will give a list of the more important alterations for the sake of those who may possess the first edition of this book.
