The Beagle Diary was later used to write Darwin's famous book 'Voyage of the Beagle' (1839). The narrative of the surveying voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle between the years 1826 and 1836. Darwin describes each day of the voyage, some in intimate detail, during the Beagle's circumnavigation of the globe.

Nothing in Darwin's Diary until tomorrow, but in the meantime a 'first-day cover' some nice soul sent me at the time of the Darwin celebrations in February. Nice surprise...
