With original omissions restored. Edited with Appendix and Notes by his grand-daughter. Darwin's autobiography was first published in 1887, five years after his death. Since it was written primarily for his own children, many passages and references to personalities were omitted for family reasons. This version, edited by his granddaughter, Nora Barlow, is an accurate transcription from the original manuscript, with earlier omissions restored, and is the first complete edition to appear in print'.
