Darwin's "Origin of Species," originally issued in 1859, is reported 

 about to be republished by several publishers, but these new editions can 

 only be reprints of the first edition. All this is in consequence of the expira- 

 tion of the copyright of the original edition. Mr. Murray, the original pub- 

 lisher, will present a shilling issue of the last edition revised by Darwin himself.
