Prison.- [Craig (James)] Plan for a General Bridewell, only edition, interleaved (as issued), 2 folding engraved plans (offsetting), light water-staining to upper margin of text, modern cloth, 4to, [?Edinburgh], [1780].⁂ This was in effect the fund-raising prospectus for a brand new prison or bridewell in Edinburgh, the blank interleaves intended to be used by recipients for comments to be sent to the council.

The architect was the local James Craig (1739-1795) who is probably best known to history for his layout of the first Edinburgh New Town.

The relationship between Spencer and Darwin is best-remembered for Spencer's coining of the phrase "survival of the fittest" which Darwin would then borrow for his Variation of Animals and Plants and the fifth and subsequent editions of On the Origin of Species. Books from Darwin's library are rare to the market. Provenance: By descent in the Cornford family.
