The first edition of Darwin:


Darwin
  On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,
or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
London, John Murray, 1859. 8vo, pp.[ix] + 502 + 32
First Edition.
Only 1192 copies of the 1250 copies were for sale and demand
was so immediate that Darwin wrote in his diary "all copies sold
  first day", a permissible exaggeration.
A second edition followed immediately of 3750 copies.



I have a copy for sale of this first edition.
In really nice contemporary half calf.
Adverts as usual discarded by binder

If someone interested please contact me privately

With regards
Riccardo Giannuzzi-Savelli
