St Mary's Books is proud to present this 2003 Folio Society edition of "Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited During The Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle Round the World Under Captain Fitz Roy, R.N." by Charles Darwin. Housed in a black slipcase, this hardback book is bound in teal cloth blocked with an intricate black ink and gold gilt illustration by David Eccles. Inside, past the maps on the free endpapers, one finds i-xxxiv and 518 pages of text, peppered with full-colour and black and white illustrations, photographs, and more. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to Charles Darwin's vivid travel memoir and detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology, demonstrating his keen powers of observation and containing comments hinting at his changing views on the fixity of species, a precursor to his theory of evolution. This copy is in very good condition, with few notable blemishes or imperfections it appears virtually as-new. "The Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any natural historian.
