. Thomas Henry Huxley; a sketch of his life and work. Huxley, Thomas Henry, 1825-1895. .-r.;|'t i ^^ , \. PREFACE THIS volume is in no sense an intimate or author- ised biography of Huxley. It is simply an out- line of the external features of his life and an account of his contributions to biology, to educational and social problems, and to philosoph}^ and metaphysics. In preparing it, I have been indebted to his own Autobiography, to the obituary notice written by Sir Michael Foster for the Royal Society of lyondon, to a sketch of him by Professor Howes, his successor at the Royal College of Science, and to his published works. The latter consist of many well-known separate vol- umes which are familiar to all zoologists, and of a vast number of memoirs and essays scattered in various vScientific and general publications. The general Essays were collected into nine volumes, revised by himself in the later years of his life, and published by Messrs. Macmillan. The Scientific Memoirs, thanks to the generous enterprise of the same publishing firm, with which he was so long associated, and to the pious labours of Sir Michael Foster and Professor Ray Lankester, are in process of reissue in the form of four volumes, two of which have now appeared. ThCvSe will contain all his important contributions to science, with the exception of a large separate treatise on the Oceanic.
