The Beagle record : selections from the original pictorial records and written accounts of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle
This 1979 volume gathers together an account of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle round the world in 1831-1836 in the words of the participants as recorded at the time--from the letters of Darwin and Captain FitzRoy, Darwin's diary, and the books about the voyage published by Darwin and FitzRoy in 1839. It is illustrated by the pencil drawings and watercolors made by the Beagle's official artist, Conrad Martens, as well as pictures made on board by other members of the crew. The bulk of the illustrations were previously unpublished, as were the letters written by FitzRoy and Martens. Most of the other written sources were out of print.--From publisher description
