"Text" Quotes from Famous Books
 ... of "Evolution, Old and New," which was published in 1882 and re-issued with a new title-page in 1890, was merely a re-issue of the first edition with a new preface, an appendix, and an index. At a later date, though I cannot say precisely when, Butler revised the text of the book in view of a future edition.

Butler, however, attached sufficient importance to them to incur the expense of having ...
