De quoi il s'agit
Le journal du voyage de Darwin autour du monde à bord du Beagle, de 1831 à 1836 : géologie, animaux, plantes, et aussi les gens et les lieux qu'il a vus.
Contexte et histoire
Il paraît sous deux titres, et il vaut la peine de le savoir : celui-ci et Journal of Researches, qui est le nom d'origine et que le catalogue contient aussi. C'est le même ouvrage. La première édition est de 1839 et la seconde, de 1845, est largement réécrite — des passages fameux sur les Galápagos ne disent pas la même chose dans la première, car entre-temps Darwin avait commencé à penser à l'évolution. C'est aussi un livre de voyage portant tous les préjugés de son siècle, et cela se voit aujourd'hui.

THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE PREFACE I have stated in the preface to the first Edition of this work, and in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, that it was in consequence of a wish expressed by Captain Fitz Roy, of having some scientific person on board, accompanied by an offer from him of giving up part of his own accommodations, that I volunteered my services, which received, through the kindness of the hydrographer, Captain Beaufort, the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty. 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.
