This 1979 volume gathers together an account of the voyage of HMS
Beagle round the world in 1831 6, taken from the letters of Darwin
and 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 watercolours made by the Beagle's official
artist, Conrad Martens, but pictures made on board by other members
of the crew are also included. The bulk of the illustrations were
previously unpublished, as were the letters written by Captain
FitzRoy and Conrad Martens. Most of the other written sources were
out of print. The book tells the story of the Beagle in the words
of the participants as recorded at the time, and illustrates it
with a selections from the original pictorial records."
