Leonard Huxley 11 December 1860 - 3 May 1933 was an English schoolteacher writer and editor. Huxley's major biographies were the three volumes of Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley and the two volumes of Life and Letters of Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker OM GCSI. He also published Thomas Henry Huxley: a character sketch and a short biography of Darwin. He was assistant master at Charterhouse School between 1884 and 1901. He was then the assistant editor of Cornhill Magazine between 1901 and 1916 becoming its editor in 1916. Captain Robert Falcon Scott CVO 6 June 1868 - c. 29 March 1912 was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery expedition of 1901-04 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13. On the first expedition he set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S and discovered the Antarctic Plateau on which the South Pole is located. On the second venture Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912 less than five weeks after Amundsen's South Pole expedition. A planned meeting with supporting dog teams from the base camp failed despite Scott's written instructions and at a distance of 162 miles from their base camp at Hut Point and approximately 12.5 miles from the next depot Scott and his companions died. When Scott and his party's bodies were discovered they had in their possession the first Antarctic fossils discovered. The fossils were determined to be from the Glossopteris tree and proved that Antarctica was once forested and joined to other continents. Before his appointment to lead the Discovery expedition Scott had a career as a Royal Navy officer. In 1899 he had a chance encounter with Sir Clements Markham the president of the Royal Geographical Society and learned of a planned Antarctic expedition which he soon volunteered to lead. His name became inseparably associated with the Antarctic the field of work to which he remained committed during the final 12 years of his life. Following the news of his death Scott became a celebrated hero a status reflected by memorials erected across the UK. Dodd, Mead and Company hardcover

Printed label with title mounted on front board. = Written by Darwin's Bulldog the zoologist Thomas Henry Huxley 1825-1895 who was a ship's assistant surgeon and naturalist on board of HMS Rattlesnake. The Rattlesnake charted the Great Barrier Reef and the seas northwards to New Guinea. Huxley's paper On the anatomy and the affinities of the family of Medusae' was published in 1849 by the Royal Society in its Philosophical Transactions. Huxley united the Hydroid and Sertularian polyps with the Medusae to form a class to which he subsequently gave the name of Hydrozoa. The connection he made was that all the members of the class consisted of two cell layers enclosing a central cavity or stomach. This is characteristic of the phylum now called the Cnidaria. He compared this feature to the serous and mucous structures of embryos of higher animals. When at last he got a grant from the Royal Society for the printing of plates Huxley was able to summarise this work in The Oceanic Hydrozoa published by the Ray Society in 1859'. The value of Huxley's work was recognised and on returning to England in 1850 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In the following year at the age of twenty-six he not only received the Royal Society Medal but was also elected to the Council Wikipedia.

19722835331972. Very Good binding. A small archive of correspondence between Sir Julian Huxley the scientist writer and brother of Aldous Huxley and a Mr. John T. Parks of Richardson Texas. ~There are four autograph letters signed and written by Sir Julian. In them Huxley comments on such things as the burning of the White House in the War of 1812 various species of fish and the vices of the Arabs. Of the Arabs he comments: "their greatest trouble was the power of the different sheiks - which led to a form of tribalism and hindered unity. Oil has helped some materially - but even the oil 'kingdoms' are very backward as regards education & health. Let us hope that this division will continue so as to prevent mass war against Israel." This written a mere year before the Yom Kippur War. ~Sir Julian's handwritten letters are at times difficult to transcribe and the archive helpfully includes typed transcripts of them. ~~Correspondent John Parks requested autographs for certain copies of Sir Julian's works one of which is included with the letters: an off-print copy of "World Population" from Scientific American signed by Sir Julian on the front cover. The archive also includes correspondence between Mr. Parks and publishers as well as the subscription department at The New Yorker: "For the trouble I caused him . I asked him and Lady Huxley what they would like short of a herd of longhorn steers . and he said he rather thought that a subscription to The New Yorker would do nicely". Finally includes an autographed letter signed by Judith Huxley daughter-in-law of Aldous thanking the Mr. Parks for the loan of a book. Very Good binding. unknown books
