He served on eight Royal Commissions from 1862 to 1884. From 1871 to 1880 he was a Secretary of the Royal Society and from 1883 to 1885 he was president.

In 1870 he was president of the British Association at Liverpool and in the same year was elected a member of the newly constituted London School Board. Huxley is known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Some time in 1871 Huxley had been found to have a heart condition and hence his reference to reducing his work load. The phrase 'decree of non possumus' means 'We Cannot' and would be the first words of a Papal decree when he is refusing something.
