De què tracta
El diari del viatge de Darwin al voltant del món a bord del Beagle, entre el 1831 i el 1836: geologia, animals, plantes, i també la gent i els llocs que va veure.
Context i història
Es publica amb dos títols, i és bo saber-ho: aquest i Journal of Researches, que és el nom original i que al catàleg també hi és. Són la mateixa obra. La primera edició és del 1839, i la segona, del 1845, està força reescrita —hi ha passatges famosos sobre les illes Galápagos que a la primera no diuen el mateix, perquè entremig Darwin havia començat a pensar en l'evolució. És també un llibre de viatges amb tots els prejudicis del seu segle, i llegit avui es nota.

As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited, have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial friendship and steady assistance. Both to Captain Fitz Roy and to all the Officers of the Beagle [1] I shall ever feel most thankful for the undeviating kindness with which I was treated during our long voyage. 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; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition. The Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle includes an account of the Fossil Mammalia, by Professor Owen; of the Living Mammalia, by Mr. Waterhouse; of the Birds, by Mr. Gould; of the Fish, by the Rev.
