189694972Paris, Felix Alcan, 1896, in-8, front, XVI-415 pp, 2 cartes depl, Demi-chagrin vert, dos richement fleuronné, marque de prix sur le plat supérieur [Ville de Paris, Prix municipal], tranches dorées, Troisième édition française, revue et corrigée d'après la quatorzième édition anglaise (?Physiography, An Introduction to the Study of Nature, édition originale 1877). La traduction de Georges Lamy (né en 1857), précédemment parue en 1882 et 1892, comporte des adaptations : les deux chapitres sur la Tamise ont été remplacés par deux autres sur la Seine; les deux cartes ainsi proposées par Lamy ont été dressées par lui-même, et sont gravées par Erhard (Geslot). L'une illustre l'hydrographie et le nivellement des bassins de la Seine et de la Somme; l'autre la géologie du bassin de la Seine. Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), "naturaliste emblématique de la science victorienne" est relativement peu connu du grand public français, qui connait mieux son petit-fils, Aldous. Il joua pourtant un rôle essentiel dans la défense et la diffusion de la théorie de l'évolution, ce qui lui valut le surnom de "bouledogue de Darwin". Ses textes ont surtout été diffusés en France par Émile Alglave, directeur de la Bibliothèque scientifique internationale et de la Revue des cours scientifiques (Revue Rose).
