" Mr. Huxley has covered a vast variety of topics during the last quarter of a 

 century. 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 b^ 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 [1S93I, so they may be considered his final and most authorita- 

 tive utterances." — Chicago Times. 



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

 will be a sourcebf delight and profit to all who read them. He has always commanded 

 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 Prof. Huxley will always com- 

 mand 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 phenomena 

 to be explained, is but an extension of the assumptions which underlie actions in every- 

 day afiairs; and that the method of scientific investigation is only the method which 

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