With Portrait. Small 8vo. First published in 1845. 500pp. A few text illustrations. With the bookplate of Reginald Hibbert Tupper along with a gift inscription to him. Green original cloth. Very good condition. DARWIN writes: 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. L. Jenyns; and of the Reptiles, by Mr. Bell. I have appended to the descriptions of each species an account of its habits and range. Reginald H. Tupper was a soldier, and a barrister. Reginald H. Tupper was Dean of the Vancouver Law School from 1938 to 1943, the forerunner of Faculty of Law at the University of British Columbia (UBC); he advocated for such a faculty at a post-secondary level. Reginald H. Tupper received The Degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa) on September 4, 1952 from UBC. Reginald H. Tupper was the son of Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, Solicitor General of Canada (1896) who in turn was the son of Sir Charles Tupper, the sixth Prime Minister of Canada. N° de réf. du vendeur 009685

FIRST EDITION. "The natural history of these islands is eminently curious, and well deserves attention. Most of the organic productions are aboriginal creations, found nowhere else; there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands; yet all show a marked relationship of America, though separated from that continent by a open space of ocean between 500 and 600 miles in width. The archipelago is a little world within itself, or, rather, a satellite attached to America, whence it has derived a few stray colonists, and has received the general character of its indigenous productions. Considering the small size of these islands, we feel The more astonished at the number of their aboriginal beings, and at their confined range. Seeing every height crowned with its crater, and the boundaries of most of the lava-streams still distinct, we are led to believe that within a period geologically recent the unbroken ocean was here spread out. Hence, both in space and time, we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact Ð that mystery of mysteries Ð the first appearance of new beings on this earth"------Charles DarwinJournal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries visited during the Voyage of H.M.S.
