An account of the five years that English naturalist Charles Darwin spent traveling around the world on the HMS Beagle, a voyage that led him to develop his theory of the evolution of the species.
Not in Ferguson; not in Freeman, but see his 50b, however he makes no mention of the portrait either in this edition or by reference to his 46 (1888) which is generally similar. The page references in the Postscript have been changed to refer to the new pagination scheme.
