The Life And Letters Of Thomas Henry Huxley V.1 - Leonard Huxley - Bog

The Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley V.1 is a biographical work written by Leonard Huxley, the son of Thomas Henry Huxley. The book provides a detailed account of the life of the famous English biologist, known as ""Darwin's bulldog"" for his staunch defense of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The first volume covers Huxley's early life, education, and career as a medical student and professor of natural history. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage to Henrietta Heathorn and his relationships with other notable figures of his time, such as Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. The book is based on Huxley's personal letters and diaries, as well as accounts from his family and friends. It offers a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century.6. I have the materials for a monograph upon the Acalephae and Hydrostatic Acalephae. I have examined very carefully more than forty genera of these animals--many of them very rare, and some quite new. But I paid comparatively little attention to the collection of new species, caring rather to come to some clear and definite idea as to the structure of those which had indeed been long known, but very little understood. Unfortunately for science, but fortunately for me, this method appears to have been somewhat novel with observers of these animals, and consequently everywhere new and remarkable facts were to be had for the picking up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
