NOTES: “This is the definitive text with new preliminaries and a postscript, as Darwin left it.” — Raymond Sutton, catalogue no. 15 (Fishes) “Darwin's journal of his voyage on the Beagle first appeared as the third volume of Capatain Robert Fitzroy's The Narrative o the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle (1839). It immediately reappeared as a separate book under its own title. In 1860, Darwin had the opportunity to correct some of th errors in the book and the 10th thounsand of the book thereby became the definitive edition. Dedicated to Charles Lyell in recognition of his ‘...well knownn and admirable...’ Principles of Geology, the journal sketches a history of the voyage of the Beagle through Darwins' examinations of the natural history and geolgoy of each destination.” — Henry Sotheran, Piccadilly Notes, no. 46, 2003 REFERENCES: Freeman 20.
