The Huxley Lecture. — The Charing Cross 

 Medical School in London, which had the 

 good fortune some fifty-three years ago to 

 number Huxley among its pupils, had large- 

 ly through this fact the honor of being ad- 

 dressed on October 3d by Professor Virchow, 

 the greatest living pathologist and one of 

 the greatest of living scientists. There was 

 a peculiar fitness in his delivering the Hux- 

 ley lecture, for, while Professor Virchow's 

 work has been chiefly that of the special- 

 ist, his co-operation with laborers in other 

 fields, his continued efforts to popularize 

 science, and the prominent position which 

 he has occupied for the last thirty years 



in public life, have given him a standing 

 in Germany somewhat akin to that of Hux- 

 ley in England. His career is a striking 

 illustration, as was also Huxley's, of the 

 happy results to humanity from a combina- 

 tion in one man of great ability as an in- 

 vestigator with a facility for generalization 

 and the practical application of scientific 

 truths to the concrete problems of science 

 and civilization. Professor Virchow is de- 

 scribed as modest and unassuming, and very 

 much of a contrast in all ways to the ordi- 

 nary German professor. His address was on
