Hardcover no dust jacket. Binding of green cloth with gilt titles to spine and blind stamped designs to boards and spine in very good condition with a little rubbing to edges and tips. Inside starting to crack pages 106/107 but all pages still well bound and secure and in lovely clean and bright condition with no foxing marking or aging. Dubbing himself 'Darwin's bulldog' Huxley is primarily known as a popularizer of Darwin's theory and also for his war with theology and consequently invented what he conceived to be the appropriate title of 'agnostic'. From 1860 to 1863 Huxley developed his ideas presenting them in lectures to working men students and the general public followed by publication. Also in 1862 a series of talks to working men was printed lecture by lecture as pamphlets later bound up as a little green book; the first copies went on sale in December and prompted Darwin to write in dismay to Huxley stating of his six lectures "They are simply perfect" even though Huxley himself did not intend them to be widely circulated. An excellent copy of this very scarce first clothbound edition. <br /><br /></p> Robert Hardwicke hardcover
