THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY. 



1825-1895. 



HUXLEY was born at Ealing in 1825 and died at Eastbourne in 

 1895, by which event Medicine lost one of its most 

 illustrious members and Science one of her most distinguished, 

 vigorous, and eloquent champions. Two quotations will suffice, one 

 from his friend Sir Joseph Fayrer, and the other from Huxley's 

 Autobiography. 



THOMAS JIKNKY HUXLEY. 



By F. Bowcbeh. 



" He will be remembered not only as a great original thinker, investigator, and 

 promoter of biological science, but as a man of the highest principle and unswerving 

 devotion to truth, a genial and charming friend, a keen but courteous controversialist, 

 and one who illuminated all he said or did with the brightness of a remarkable personality 

 and a goodness of heart that endeared him to all who knew him." (Sir Joseph Fayrer.)
