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

 century. It gives one an agreeable surprise to luok ever the tables oi 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 authorita- 

 tive uttaances."— Chicago Times. 



" It was inevitable that his essa^»^hould be calledl&tHna completed form, and they 

 will be a source of delight and pEifmt to all who read themrxl^ has always commanded 

 a hearing, and as a master of ^le literary style in writing scienfi^ essays he is wortliy 

 of a place among the greaj^nglish essayists of the day. This^dition of his essays 

 will be widely read, and giv« his scientific work a permanent iotm.^'^oston Herald. 



" A man whose brillianoy is so constant as that of Prof. Huxley will always com- 

 mand readers; and the ut»rances which are here collected are not the least in weight 

 and luminous beauty of tVose with which the author has long delighted the readmg 

 world." — Philadelphia P^ss. 



" The connected arranapment of the essays which their reissue permits brings into 

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

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

 the place of hypothesis in sc\nce, as the starting point of verification of the phenomena 

 to be explained, is but an extefKign of the assumptions which underlie acdons in every- 

 day affairs ; and that the methooSt^ scientifisM^yestigation is only the method which 

 rules the ordinary business of \i£e."--^!&^ndo» ChrlfH^e.
