South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, etc. Quarterly Review 76: 492: We cannot, however, willingly omit the name of Mr. Charles Darwin; who by his various successful labours and acquisitions during the four years' voyage of the Beagle, and by his various works connected with this expedition, has well sustained his family name, and taken a high place among European travellers and naturalists. We rejoice to see that his 'Journal' has now been reprinted with additions, and in a cheap form. ] [69v

Beagle, is a sort of twin-publication, possessed of equal interest to the inhabitants of this hemisphere, we conceive that we shall, in conjunction with the labors of our contemporary, be advancing the ends of science, and encouraging a taste for the acquirement of knowledge, hitherto but little manifested among our fluctuating, wealth-seeking population. The voyage of the Beagle extended over a period of four years, from the beginning of 1832 to the end of 1835, so that the author had leisure

ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES. ————— INTRODUCTION. WHEN on board H.M.S. 'Beagle,' as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species—that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers. On my return home, it occurred to me, in 1837, that something

In 1845 he bought the copyright of Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle (first published by Colburn) for £150. When, early in 1859, Lyell asked him to consider an important new work by Darwin he readily agreed to

, as naturalist of the Beagle in her voyage round the world; he has since lived much in retirement, on account of the state of his health, but devoting himself all the time to experimental inquiries regarding this very subject. The result is a pile of observations calculated to form a large work, but of which he has been pleased to send forth an introductory sketch or summary in the volume before us.* Mr Darwin's theory is, that there is a real variability in organisms, acting through the medium of
