is a great loss to me in the Beagle. He is far the most conversible being on board, I do not mean talks the most, for in that respect Sullivan quite bears away the palm. Our new artist, who joined us at M. Video, is a pleasant sort of person, rather too much of the drawing-master about him: he is very unlike to Earl's eccentric character. [page] 104 DARWI

alguna vez pensara ser clérigo. Y no es que yo renunciara expresamente a esta intención ni al deseo de mi padre, dicha intención murió de muerte natural cuando, al dejar Cambridge, me uní al Beagle en calida de naturalista. Si hemos de fiarnos de los frenólogos, yo era, en cierto sentido, idóneo para ser clérigo. Hace unos años, los secretarios de una sociedad psicológica alemana me pidieron encarecidamente por carta una fotografía, y algún tiempo después recibí las actas de una de sus

extrañamente celoso en alguna cuestiones. Antes de emprender mi viaje en el Beagle le visité dos o tres veces y en una ocasión me pidió que mirara por un microscopio y le describiera lo que veía. Así lo hice, y ahora creo que lo que vi era el prodigioso fluido protoplasmático de una célula vegetal. Entonces le pregunté qué era lo que había visto, pero me respondió: «Ése es mi pequeño secreto.» Era capaz de las acciones más generosas. Siendo ya viejo, con una salud muy delicada, e incapaz de hacer

tiempo como le dediqué. A partir de septiembre de 1854 me consagré totalmente a ordenar mi enorme montón de apuntes, a observar y a experimentar en relación con la transmutación de las especies. Durante el viaje del Beagle había quedado profundamente impresionado cuando descubrí en las formaciones de las Pampas grandes animales fósiles cubiertos de corazas, como las de los actuales armadillos; en segundo lugar, por la manera en que animales estrechamente emparentados se sustituyen unos a otros

During the forty years of his residence at Down, Darwin made the second abstract of his theory of evolution (1844; the first was made in 1842 before he came to Down); he wrote his researches on the Zoology of the Beagle, on Coral Reefs, and prepared a new edition of the Naturalist's Voyage. Before he settled down to work at Barnacles, to which he gave seven years (1847 54

NOTE TWO How Dr. Robert's objections to the Voyage were overcome AT THE beginning of his Beagle Journal Charles Darwin wrote an account of how the Wedgwoods and especially his Uncle Josiah turned the balance in favour of his acceptance of the position of Naturalist offered by Captain Fitz-Roy. I had been wandering about North Wales on a geological tour with Professor Sedgwick when I arrived home on Monday 29th of August. My sisters first informed me of the letters from Prof. Henslow and Mr

places and enjoyed much this manner of travelling. I visited Barmouth to see some Cambridge friends who were reading there, and thence returned to Shrewsbury and to Maer for shooting; for at that time I should have thought myself mad to give up the first days of partridge-shooting for geology or any other science. Voyage of the 'Beagle': from Dec. 27, 1831 to Oct. 2, 1836 ON RETURNING home from my short geological tour in N. Wales, I found a letter from Henslow, informing me that Captain Fitz

of my several books. Perhaps a few details how they arose may be worth giving. My Several Publications IN THE early part of 1844, my observations on the Volcanic Islands visited during the voyage of the Beagle were published. In 1845, I took much pains in correcting a new edition of my Journal of Researches, which was originally published in 1839 as part of Fitz-Roy's work. The success of this my first literary child always tickles my vanity more than that of any of my other books. Even to

joined the Beagle as Naturalist. If the phrenologists are to be trusted, I was well fitted in one respect to be a clergyman. A few years ago the Secretaries of a German psychological society asked me earnestly by letter for a photograph of myself; and some time afterwards I received the proceedings of one of the meetings in which it seemed that the shape of my head had been the subject of a public discussion, and one of the speakers declared that I had the bump of Reverence developed enough for

go there; but I think that they were only half in earnest. I was, however, quite in earnest, and got an introduction to a merchant in London to enquire about ships; but the scheme was of course knocked on the head by the voyage of the Beagle. My summer vacations were given up to collecting beetles, to some reading and short tours. In the autumn my whole time was devoted to shooting, chiefly at Woodhouse and Maer, and sometimes with young Eyton of Eyton.1 Upon the whole the three years which I

midnight abusing you all the time. The difficulty of living on good terms with a Captain of a Man-of-War is much increased by its being almost mutinous to answer him as one would answer anyone else; and by the awe in which he is held or was held in my time, by all on board. I remember hearing a curious instance of this in the case of the purser of the Adventure, the ship which sailed with the Beagle during the first voyage. The Purser was in a store in Rio de Janeiro, purchasing rum for the ship's

these were exhausted would long remain dubious. A second characteristic was his hearty sympathy with the work of other scientific men. On my return from the voyage of the Beagle, I explained to him my views on coral-reefs, which differed from his, and I was greatly surprised and encouraged by the vivid interest which he showed. On such occasions, while absorbed in thought, he would throw himself into the strangest attitudes, often resting his head on the seat of a chair, while standing up. His
