A Naturalist's Voyage Round The World In H.M.S. 'Beagle'

Journal Of Researches Into The Natural History And Geology Of The Countries Visited During The Voyage Of H.M.S. 'Beagle' Under The Command Of Captain Fitz Roy"

By Charles Darwin

Published by John Murray: London 1905 A New Edition With Illustrations

Provenance: Ex Libris Bookplate Of The Yorick Club

"The Yorick Club was a gentlemen's club in Melbourne, Australia, whose membership consisted originally of men involved in the arts and sciences. It was founded in 1868 and continued in some form into the 1950s and perhaps beyond."

"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."
