The Voyage of the Beagle

ebook
This edition was originally published in 1845. From the author's preface, "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, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader. 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..." This voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle to map the coast of South America took place from Dec. 27, 1831 - Oct 2, 1836 while Darwin was in his early twenties. Cover watercolor of the Beagle in Valparaíso in 1834 by Conrad Martens (http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2390750) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons.
