作为笔调轻松、文笔优美、诙谐有趣的自然历史书籍之一，《贝格尔号航行日记》记述了查尔斯·达尔文于1831年至1836年间经南美洲、加拉帕戈斯群岛、澳洲重返英格兰的旅程，此次旅行加深了他对生物学的理解，丰富和发展了他的进化论观点。在达尔文的笔下，他的那些冒险经历，诸如火地岛遭遇“野人”、在巴塔哥尼亚偶食生禽，以及试图骑上晃晃悠悠的巴塔哥尼亚乌龟的努力都一一生动地跃然纸上，描绘得栩栩如生。

点灯是康明斯的第一部小说，是直接的畅销书，在20天销售20000份。八周售出40,000工作，并在五个月内已售出65,000。在当时，这是第二只在销售斯托夫人的“汤姆叔叔的小屋”。在英国售出了超过10万份，被翻译成多种不同的语言。霍桑的小说写在1855到威廉D.蒂克纳的信中：“什么是点灯这些无数版本的神秘面纱，其他书籍既不更好，也不更坏吗？”在同一封信中，霍桑他臭名昭著的说法，“美国现在全给了广告-D涂鸦妇女”暴徒。这很可能是从来没有读过霍桑点灯，但今天他的信是主要的“声名鹊起”的小说。
