M. S. '* Beagle" round the world; Gap- tain Fitzroy, the commander of the expedi- tion, having announced that in this circum- navigation he vs^ould take with him any young man who would pay his own way and fulfill certain other reasonable require- ments. This Captain Fitzroy was a devoted follower of Lavater, and Charles Darwin having a nose that pointed toward heaven, more or less, stumbled upon the preju- dices of Captain Fitzroy as a student of physiognomy ; he almost lost in consequence the... opportunity to go with Fitzroy because his nose was the wrong shape. When he brought the matter of this five-year voyage to his father's attention, the father could see no reason why a young man who had tried two or three universities and private schools and had achieved no startling suc- cess, should go away for five years in pursuit of the flora and fauna of the world; so he made this agreement in his fine dis- dain of adventure ; that he would consent to his son's going (he was a rich man and there was no question of the means) and to [ 122 ] CHARLES DARWIN his retaining the specimens he collected, provided he could ''hring the approval of the plan from any sensihle man!" This was that covenant w^hich hetween father and son looked like an impossible sacrifice.
