Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. 1 of 3: By His Son Leonard Huxley Accordingly, I have not discussed with any fulness the value of his technical contributions to natural science; I have not drawn up a compendium Of his philosophical views. One is a work for specialists the other can be gathered from his published works. I have endeavoured rather to give the public a picture, so far as I can, of the man himself, Of his aims in the many struggles in which he was engaged, of his character and temperament, and the circum stances under which his various works were begun and completed.
