"This very complete revelation of the character and work of 

 a man virho must be regarded as one of the forces which gave 

 . character to the nineteenth century will be welcomed by a far 

 wider circle of readers than that which is interested in Huxley's 

 strictly scientific researches. . . . These two richly interesting 

 volumes are sure to be widely read." — London Times. 



"It «goes without saying' what precious freight was carried 

 by Huxley's letters. . . . These two delightful volumes." — 

 London Chronicle. 



" Huxley's life was so full, so active, so many-sided, in touch 

 with such a number of interesting people, that this work appeals 

 to all sorts and conditions of men. ... An admirably written 

 biography." — London Standard. 



"His letters are a self- revelation of the man, his work, his 

 ambitions, his trials, his views of religion, his philosophy, his 

 public activity and domestic happiness. . . . Whoso reads these 

 volumes will feel that he knows better a man worth knowing, 

 and the number who will read them will be great." — London 

 Telegraph. 



"Huxley's career makes a wonderful story." — London 

 Mail. 



" Mr. Leonard Huxley has given the world many extremely 

 valuable and interesting letters, all characteristic, and he has con- 

 nected them by a well-written consecutive narrative which is 

 sufficient to weave them together." — London News.
