Soon after his return Darwin settled at Down, and from that time his life— a most uneventful one from a biographical point of view— was mainly devoted to those researches

Although known at this time to only a small circle of scientific friends, his abilities as a naturalist soon became more widely recognised; and in 1831, when the Hon. Capt. Fitzroy — afterwards better known as Admiral Fitzroy, of meteorological fame — was ordered, with the 'Adventure' and 'Beagle,' to survey the coasts of Antarctic America, Charles Darwin was appointed Naturalist to the Expedition. He sailed in December, 1831, and returned in October, 1836, during which interval he visited the

The master could not have had a more apt pupil, or the pupil a master better fitted to train the genius which might otherwise have strayed like that of his grandfather. In after times, as we shall presently see, these relations were reversed. It was at Prof. Henslow's instance, that when Capt. Fitzroy (who was about to proceed on a four years' Surveying Voyage) was on the look-out for a volunteer Naturalist to accompany him, Charles Darwin offered himself

The full results of this memorable voyage came slowly to light.

. These indisputable testimonies will not fail me. On the 27th December, 1831, Darwin (then twenty-two years old) embarked on board the 'Beagle,' which, under the command of Captain Fitzroy, was starting upon a voyage round the world. He returned to England after a five-years' expedition, and immediately commenced a series of publications, which very quickly secured him a special place among the naturalists, his compatriots. We must first say a word about his Journal of the voyage. One hears too

In 1825 Darwin left Shrewsbury for Edinburgh, where he attended the University lectures for a period of two years, at the end of which he entered at Christ College, Cambridge. He took his degree in 1831, and shortly afterwards accompanied Captain Fitzroy, in H.M.S. Beagle, on a voyage of circumnavigation. This voyage has been described by himself in one of the most delightful

Herbst desselben Jahres trat ein entscheidender Wendepunkt in Darwins Leben ein. Kapitän Fitzroy, der Kommandant des englischen Kriegsschiffes Beagle , erbot sich nämlich einem Naturforscher, welcher an der mit dem genannten Schiffe auszuführenden Vermessungsexpedition teilnehmen wolle, seine Kabine zur Jälfte zur Verfügung zu stellen und ihm freie Fahrt und Verflegung zu gewähren. Der damals 22 jährige Charles Darwin meldete sich zur Mitreise und stellte nur die Bedingung, frei über die von ihm zu

In December of the year in which he left Cambridge, the Beagle Exploring Expedition, under command of Captain Fitzroy, sailed from England and made a cruise of nearly five years, during which a partial survey was made of South America and the circumnavigation of the globe accomplished. Darwin accompanied the expedition, and upon his return to England gave the

The Beagle sailed 27th December, 1831, on what may be pronounced from its indirect results one of the most memorable voyages on record. Mr. Darwin, who acted as naturalist without salary, even partly paying his own expenses, was allowed the entire disposal of the
