1860Best.-Nr. BCNH2002An immaculate copy of Darwin's first published book—universally celebrated as The Voyage of the Beagle. This 1860 printing is heavily prized by collectors as it represents the final definitive text layout. Darwin personally revised the volume contributing an updated preface and a new postscript dated Feb. 1st 1860 addressing minor textual corrections. Furthermore John Murray intentionally published this milestone edition in the exact same green blind-stamped diagonal-wave-grain cloth style used for On the Origin of Species completing the ultimate pairing for evolutionary biology collectors. Physical Description and Collation Octavo. pp. xv xvi 519 followed by 32 pages of Murray's General List of Works advertisements dated "January 1863" bound at the rear. Complete with the half-title page and 11 fine woodcuts/diagrams integrated within the text block. Publisher's original green diagonal-wave-grain cloth boards symmetrically stamped in blind spine lettered and decorated in bright gilt. Original dark chocolate-brown paper endpapers complete with the highly desirable intact paper binder's ticket of "Bound by Edmonds & Remnants London" cleanly affixed to the rear pastedown. An outstanding premium collector's copy in an exceptionally crisp state of preservation. Binding and Cloth: Exceptional. The cloth retains its rich deep original green color across the boards and spine entirely escaping the heavy sun-bleaching or uniform browning typical of mid-Victorian cloth. The gilt lettering is sharp and intensely bright. Sharp corners and firm spine ends showing only minuscule hints of shelf friction. Hinges and Joints: Structurally flawless. The internal hinges are completely sound uncracked and un-repaired. The text block remains tight square and solid. Interior and Text Block: Remarkably fresh. The leaves are crisp white and exceptionally clean showing far less age-toning or foxing than is normally expected of this vintage. Features an elegant contemporary ink signature on the upper margin of the title page "H. Dickson 1st George Oakridge Toronto" offering a brilliant clean piece of nineteenth-century provenance. An incredibly sharp bright and completely untouched copy of the foundational travelogue that directly inspired Darwin's theory of natural selection. John Murray, Albemarle Street hardcover

"The second voyage of HMS Beagle from 27 December 1831 to 2 October 1836 was the second survey expedition of HMS Beagle made under her newest commander Robert FitzRoy. FitzRoy had thought of the advantages of having someone onboard who could investigate geology and sought a naturalist to accompany them as a supernumerary. At the age of 22 the graduate Charles Darwin hoped to see the tropics before becoming a parson and accepted the opportunity. He was greatly influenced by reading Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology the book is dedicated to Lyell during the voyage. By the end of the expedition Darwin had made his name as a geologist and fossil collector and the publication of his journal later known as The Voyage of the Beagle gave him wide renown as a writer." from Wikipedia.

The Voyage of the Beagle is the title most commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks bringing him considerable fame and respect. This was the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle the other volumes of which were written or edited by the commanders of the ships. Journal and Remarks covers Darwin's part in the second survey expedition of the ship HMS Beagle. Due to the popularity of Darwin's account the publisher reissued it later in 1839 as Darwin's Journal of Researches and the revised second edition published in 1845 used this title. A republication of the book in 1905 introduced the title The Voyage of the "Beagle" by which it is now best known. Beagle sailed from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of Captain Robert FitzRoy. While the expedition was originally planned to last two years it lasted almost five - Beagle did not return until 2 October 1836. Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land three years and three months on land; 18 months at sea. The book is a vivid travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology geology and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring and charting the whole world. Although Darwin revisited some areas during the expedition for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to places and locations rather than by date. Darwin's notes made during the voyage include comments hinting at his changing views on the fixity of species. On his return he wrote the book based on these notes at a time when he was first developing his theories of evolution through common descent and natural selection. The book includes some suggestions of his ideas particularly in the second edition of 1845. The Folio Society hardcover

First American edition. 2 vols. Small 8vo. First American edition of Darwin's important first published book containing the observations and field work that form the basis for On the Origin of Species. "The five years of the voyage were the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science knowing the importance of evidence almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since the creation but had undergone change. The experiences of his five years in the Beagle how he dealt with them and what they led to built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought" DSB. Darwin's Journal "his first published book is undoubtedly the most often read" Freeman 31. It is "one of the most interesting records of natural history exploration ever written and is one of the most important for it was on this voyage that Darwin prepared for his lifework ultimately leading to The Origin of Species" Hill I 104-5. First published in 1839 as "the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle edited by Captain Robert Fitzroy. Since then it has changed its name four times so that today it is universally referred to as The Voyage of the Beagle. On its first appearance in its own right also in 1839 it was called Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History etc. The second edition of 1845 transposes 'Geology' and 'Natural History'. and the spine title is Naturalist's Voyage" Freeman 32. This first American edition is based on that 1845 second London edition. Issued as Harper's New Miscellany Volumes X and XI. Freeman 16; Sabin 18647 Harper & Brothers unknown
