Our copy has '[...] eat up a whole basket of ship biscuit at a meal, and they eat their flesh raw. They have no fixed habitations, but certain moveable cottages', and therefore appears to represent another, probably earlier setting of the text, with which the 14-leaf insert (and the world map) may not have been issued. It also retains the final two lines of page 24, erased in both Brooke-Hitching copies, and the final three lines of page 28 (containing a sentence ending 'jargon' on page 29), erased in the second.(Qty: 1)

From the Philosophical Transactions, volume 129. "The evidence which Darwin obtained in South America and in atolls for changes of sea level was later responsible for leading him into error. In 1838 in attempting to explain the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy in Scotland, Darwin imagined that the land had sunk by over 1,000 feet and that the so-called roads were marine beaches. In 1862 it was shown by T.F. Jamieson that the glaciers of Ben Nevis had dammed back the waters of a lake, the level of which dropped twice as outlets were formed, and that the roads were lake beaches" (DSB). Darwin later wrote "my paper was one long gigantic blunder from beginning to end".(Qty: 1)
