The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 22 The second of these scientific reports was by far the most interesting, for it brought Smith, Elder into personal as well as business relations with the first of their authors to achieve world-wide fame. This was Darwin's Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, a costly work in five large quarto volumes, aided by a Government grant of £1,000. These volumes were published in succession from 1840 to 1848, at a total price of £8 18s. From these

Darwin, after this, became a pupil of Henslow, Professor of Botany at Cambridge, and he also derived much information on geology from Professor Sedgewick, also at Cambridge. Darwin was early appointed Naturalist to Her Majesty's ship the Beagle, under the command of Captain (afterwards Admiral) Fitzroy. The ship sailed in December 1831. It circumnavigated the globe, and did not return till 1836. The Report of the voyage was drawn up by Captain Fitzroy and Mr Darwin; the latter furnishing the

These facts, as will be seen in the latter chapters of this volume, seemed to throw some light on the origin of species that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers.

Fuegian on board the Beagle, remarked to me that the poor and acid black-currants of Tierra del Fuego were too sweet for his taste. The savage inhabitants of each land, having found out by many and hard trials what plants were useful, or could be rendered useful by various cooking processes, would after a time take the first step in cultivation by planting them near their usual abodes.
