"It is impossible to overrate the influence of the voyage on Darwin's career: it was both his education and his opportunity.He left England untried and almost uneducated for science, he returned a successful collector, a practised and brilliant geologist, and with a wide general knowledge of zoology gained at first hand in many parts of the world" (DNB). The lessons learnt and specimens taken around the world led directly to "The Origin of Species" 20 years later. Freeman, 58. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46164

London : John Murray; 1889. Twentieth thousand. Octavo, gilt-decorated green cloth (scuffed and flecked, edges worn, hinges cracked and reglued), patterned endpapers, engraved portrait frontispiece, pp. [ii], xii, [13] - 615; [blank]; text vignettes, a small defect to preliminary blank before frontispiece; name of original owner in ink on back of frontispiece), internally clean, some pages unopened, a good copy. An account of the five years that English naturalist Charles Darwin spent traveling around the world on the HMS Beagle, a voyage that led him to develop his theory of the evolution of the species. Not in Ferguson; not in Freeman, but see his 50b, however he makes no mention of the portrait either in this edition or by reference to his 46 (1888) which is generally similar. The page references in the Postscript have been changed to refer to the new pagination scheme. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 44311

8vo., with a portrait frontispiece (original tissue guard present) and 6 illustrations in the text, neat signature on half-title; original dark green, rhea hunt blocked in gilt on upper board, gilt back, patterned endpapers, joints lightly rubbed corners very lightly bruised, lower hinge starting (but binding entirely sound), a little age-worn else a very good, clean copy. With 32p publisher's catalogue (dated January 1898 and partially unopened) bound in at end. Quite apart from its scientific value, Darwin's first published work (1839) is an important travel work in its own right. This is essentially a re-issue of Murray's 1890 edition (Freeman 28) with the postscript incorporated in the text, but preserving the gilt 'rhea' hunt on upper board and gilt '3/6' on backstrip first seen in the 1889 edition (Freeman 21). In addition Captain Fitzroy's name is reset as 'Fitz Roy' on title. Freeman (Darwin), 49. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8343
