Countries visited by H.M.S. Beagle. Before setting out on the voyage Mr. Darwin had given evidence of his courage by marrying his cousin, Miss Emma Wedgwood. In his case, at all events, Bacon's aphorism has not been verified, and his marriage proved no impediment to the arduous and unremitting devotion to his life's work. During the years 1840-1843, he edited The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, to which he contributed the Introduction and many of his notes; in 1842 was published his essay on
