Loosely inserted on The Athenaeum Pall Mall London headed paper is a handwritten note dated 22/04/1947 by the then purchaser of this copy in which he explains who he bought the book from. A most pleasing copy. Freeman 12. Darwins first published book is undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to On the origin of species as the most often printed. It is an important travel book in its own right and its relation to the background of his evolutionary ideas has often been stressed Freeman. It first appeared in its own right in 1839. We offer for sale here a copy of the final third issue of the first edition and it is identical to the second except that the conjugate half-title and title leaves have been reprinted. This is the scarcest of the three but in my experience the maps are always inserted in the text. Some copies also have the 16 pp inserted advertisements of August 1839. Freeman.

First edition first issue an attractive copy of the first separate issue of Darwin's Journal his first formal publication and a classic of natural history travel narrative. It was perhaps the most important scientific voyage ever undertaken for it gave impetus and direction to all of Darwin's later research. '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. He also developed doubts of the value of the Scriptures as a trustworthy guide to the history of the earth and of man with the result that he gradually became an agnostic. 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' Gavin de Beer in DSB. The Journal of Researches was issued as part of the Voyage of the Beagle volumes and also as a separate book as above; this separate issue comprises sheets from the same print-run but with cancel half-title and title-page.

This volume contains "in the form of a Journal a history of our voyage and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology.I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts and have added a little to others in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition. The Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle."--Darwin. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks the renowned neurologist author and educator.
