This issue quite rare. LIMITED EDITION of 250 numbered copies signed by publisher: "Bradbury Agnew W" - Whitefriars. "Crayfish were the 'hidden hand' which drew Huxley from Spirula. He veered off lured by a new promise and would never finish the tentacled mollusks. . . The Crayfish might not sound like a stimulating book. But it was destined for the International Scientific Series. The ISS now stretched from physics to psychology and beyond. It outdid the evangelical presses in pumping out rationalist books for Everyman. A huge force for deterministic and social evolution it mixed modernity and notoriety to sell titles through umpteen editions. . . He started The Crayfish after the Summer holidays in 1878 giving his own text an alluring evolutionary gloss. He intended it as the beginning of his own series. He would take readers from the 'insignificant' and common-or-garden into the profound depths." Desmond.

Huxley was next to Darwin perhaps the most important proponent of evolution in the 19th century. His 1860 debate with Samuel Wilberforce was a pivotal moment in a popularization of Darwin's theories. Leonard Huxley his son and biographer was something of a genealogical middleman — although a respected biographer in his own right Leonard was the son of one of the most famous scientists of the 19th century and the father of one of the 20th century's most famous authors Aldous Huxley and a Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Andrew Huxley.
