*' Mr. Huxley has covered a vast variety of topics during the last quarter of a cen- 

 tury. It gives one an agreeable surprise to look over the tables of contents and note 

 the immense territory which he has explored. To read these books carefully and 

 studiously is to become thoroughly acquainted with the most advanced thought on a 

 large number of topics." — New York Herald. 



" The series will be a welcome one. There are few writings on the more abstruse 

 problems of science better adapted to reading by the general public, and in this form 

 the books will be well in the reach of the investigator. . . . The revisions are the last 

 expected to be made by the author, and his introductions are none of earlier date than 

 a few months ago [1893], so they may be considered his final and most authoritative 

 utterances." — Chicago Times. 



*' It was inevitable that his essays should be called for in a completed form, and 

 they will be a source of delight and profit to all who read them. He has always com- 

 manded a hearing, and as a master of the literary style in writing scientific essays he 

 is worthy of a place among the great English essayists of the day. This edition of his 

 essays will be widely read, and gives his scientific work a permanent form." — Boston 

 Herald. 



"A man whose brilliancy is so constant as that of Professor Huxley will always 

 command readers ; and the utterances which are here collected are not the least in 

 weight and luminous beauty of those with which the author has long delighted the 

 reading world." — Philadelphia Press. 



'•The connected arrangement of the essays which their reissue permits brings into 

 fuller relief Mr. Huxley's masterly powers of exposition. Sweeping the subject-matter 

 clear of all logomachies, he lets the light of common day fall upon it. He shows that 

 the place of hypothesis in science, as the starting point of verification of the phe- 

 nomena to be explained, is but an extension of the assumptions which underlie actions 

 in everyday affairs ; and that the method of scientific investigation is only the method 

 which rules the ordinary business of life." — London Chronicle.
