Excerpt from Huxley: His Life and Work

The great French philosopher, M. Henri Bergson, in his recent Huxley Lecture at Birmingham Uni versity (may 29, 1911) asked: What scientific question, what philosophic problem, is there which did not interest Huxley's luminous intellect - one of the broadest and most comprehensive that nine teenth-century England produced, fertile in great intellects as it was That being so, it can be well understood that no one volume could deal with all the varied aspects of his strenuous and crowded life. Here there is no such attempt. In these few pages the effort has been to show as clear a portrait as possible, to show the man as distinct from his con temporaries, and to indicate his place in the gallery of great British minds.
