Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H.M.S. Beagle (The Voyage of the Beagle)

Charles Darwin · Henry Colburn (London) · 1839

The heavily revised second edition (John Murray, 1845, issued in three parts as volume 12 of the Colonial and Home Library) reverses the title's word order to 'Natural History and Geology' rather than the first edition's 'Geology and Natural History,' omits both folding maps (which did not return until 1890), and cuts the text from about 224,000 to roughly 213,000 words; any copy with the reversed title wording or lacking the two folding maps is a later Murray edition, not the 1839 Colburn first.
