1883101186Paris, C. Reinwald, 1883, in-8, [4]-VIII-552 pp, 20 pp. de cat. éd, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Quelques figures dans le texte. Nouvelle édition de la traduction française du Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries paru en 1839. La seconde édition anglaise, parue en 1845, a servi de base pour les diverses traductions. La version française, par Edmond Barbier (le troisième traducteur de l'Origine des espèces) est tardive : elle paraît en 1875, soit plus de 30 ans après l'originale anglaise. Un retirage est publié en 1881. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage de Darwin et le plus lu, après l'Origine des espèces. Il forme une relation de voyage importante en soi et par son rapport avec les idées de l'auteur sur l'évolution. Darwin voyage à bord du Beagle de 1831 à 1836, ce qui lui permet de faire un grand nombre d'observations géologiques. Il récolte des organismes vivants ou fossiles, et conserve une riche collection de spécimens, dont il envoie certains spécimens à Cambridge, accompagnés de lettres sur ses découvertes. Selon ses propres mots, ce voyage "a été de loin l'événement le plus important de [sa] vie et a déterminé toute [sa] carrière" (Charles Darwin, Autobiographie).
