A beautifully produced edition Edited by David Stanbury this is a narrative account of the voyage of the Beagle pieced together from the writings of Darwin, the Captain Robert Fitzroy and the letters of Midshipman Phillip King and 2nd Lieutenant Sulivan. Together they tell not only the story of their journey and its significance, but offer differing and intriguing perspectives. Pictorial hardcovers with decorated endpapers showing their route. A host of colour plates by Conrad Martens, the great landscape painter, who accompanied the voyage. Complete with slipcase . The voyage of H.M.S. Beagle during which Charles Darwin was a passenger formed the central part of a series of three expeditions mounted by the Admiralty to survey and chart the South American coastline. This process started in 1826 and continued until 1837. One of the 170 major surveying expeditions sent out by Sir Francis Beaufort of the Hydrographic Department in the autumn of 1831, was commanded by Captain Robert FitzRoy and was to take H.M.S. Beagle on her second voyage to the coasts of South America. Captain FitzRoy furnished the Admiralty with 82 coastal sheets, 80 plans of harbours and 40 views covering the southern portions of the continent of South America. He gained considerable public honour and recognition, and received the Royal Geographical Society's medal in 1837, establishing himself as a first-rate hydrographer and surveyor.

Overall an excellent set, very bright and fresh, of this monumental work. One of the most famous nineteenth-century accounts of voyages of exploration, "[Darwin's] first published book is undoubtedly [his] 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.The first issue forms, as is well known, the third volume of The narrative of the voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle, edited by Captain Robert Fitzroy and published, in three volumes and an appendix to Volume II, in 1839. In this form, it bears the subsidiary title Journal and remarks. Since then it has changed its name four times, so that today it is universally referred to as The voyage of the Beagle" (Freeman, Darwin, pp. 31-32). Freeman, Darwin, 10. Hill I, pp. 104-105.
