Charles Darwin’s Journal. London: John Murray, 1845. Second Edition, corrected, with additions.
Beautifully rebound, vibrant green cloth boards with leather spine. Very near-fine condition with some slight foxing on the pages.
Darwin’s journal, particularly his notes from the voyage of the HMS Beagle (1831–1836), was crucial in shaping his theory of evolution by natural selection. It documented his observations of diverse species, geological formations, and fossils, providing key evidence for his groundbreaking work, On the Origin of Species (1859).
