"This volume contains, in the form of a journal, a history of our voyage and a 

 sketch of those ohservations in Natural History and Geology which, I think, will pos- 

 sess some interest for the general reader". ' ''—From the Author's Preface. 



" I have too deeply enjoyed the voyage not to recommend any naturalist, although 

 he may not expect to be so fortunate in his companions as I have been, to take all 

 chances, and to start on travels by land if possible, if otherwise, on a long voyage. He 

 may feel assured he will meet with no difficulties or dangers, except in rare cases, 

 nearly so bad as he beforehand anticipates."" — Extract. 



" An intensely interesting work, written in a style that is a model of brevity and 

 clearness."— Wisconsin State Journal. 



" Darwin was nearly five years on board the Beagle. A keen observer and a genu- 

 ine philosopher, he has brought back to us a precious freight of facts and truths. 

 The work has been some time before the public, and has won a high place among read- 

 ers of every class. It is not so scientific as to be above the comprehension of intel- 

 ligent feaders who are not scientific. Some facts and species, new even to the scien- 

 tific, are brought to light. Darwin's transparent, eloquent style richly illuminates 

 his observations. The weightier matters to which we allude are interspersed among 

 more familiar observations, such as would naturally be made by a traveller passing 

 through new and wonderful scenes. It is an instructive and interesting book." —
