BUCKLEY, Arabella. Life and Her Children. Glimpses of Animal Life from the Amoeba to the Insects.
London: Edward Stanford, 1889. "Thirteenth thousand." 8vo., orig. greenish blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt, a.e.g., xii, 312, 4pp. ads. With illustrations. Rubberstamp on front free e/paper and pastedown, a touch of wear to the foot of the spine but in fact near fine.
Arabella Buckley was the first writer to translate Darwinian evolution into popular terms that children could understand. Buckley had worked as Charles Lyell's secretary for many years, and had followed the Darwinian debates. Despite their rather disconcerting titles, her books are "scientifically accurate and extremely lucid."
