Appleton & Co. New York publishing house, 1785-1948. American publishers of works by Darwin.  

Cooper, James Davis (1823-1904), wood engraver and book illustrator, London. Cut woodblocks for Expression, Insectivorous plants and Wallace's Malay archipelago.

Stats. Hall = Stationers' Hall, where literary and artistic works were registered for copyright (under Copyright Amendment Act, 5 & 6 Vic., c. 45) which cost 5s. Five copies of a work were to be sent; four were sent to the copyright libraries of the UK and one copy retained at Stationers'' Hall. Copyright was for 42 years in 1874. Hence the phrase "entered at Stationers' Hall" was synonymous with "Copyright" at the time.
