Back to the
Harvard Classics for you culture vultures.
For the first time in this series I am happy with the cover. In prior versions the white space around the cover was clipped too close.
This volume is the story of the voyage Darwin made when he gathered the material for
Origin of the Species (available at MobileRead in
Harvard Classics Volume XI.)
The following from the Preface to the book explains the intent of the book.
Quote:
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.
