Abstract
THERE is no book of travels so famous, so instructive or so widely read as the second edition of Darwin's “Naturalist's Voyage round the World”. The so-called first edition was published as the third volume of the official narrative of the voyages of His Majesty's ships Adventure and Beagle in 1839 and although this has been reprinted since, it was the so-called second edition published by Murray six years later that is best known and most usually quoted. Several additions and amendments were made, and some illustrations inserted in this edition, and when it was published Darwin wrote: “I hope and think I have much improved my journal.”
