Very good .<br/> <br/> A textbook which is a little masterpiece of its kind. Huxley never accepted without qualification the Darwinian principle. He thought "transmutation may take place without transition" and thereby anticipated the findings of modern research. He liberated the English anatomical school from the deductive method and sounded the keynote of the social medicine of the future. - Garrison-Morton 338; Casey Wood p. 396.<br/> <br/> Appleton unknown

1873167597London: Macmillan and Co. 1873. Presented to one of Huxley's close friends at the Royal Society First edition presentation copy inscribed on the half-title: "John Evans esq from his friend T. H. Huxley". Huxley collaborated with Sir John Evans 1823-1908 the eminent archaeologist in the administration of several learned societies in London most notably the Royal Society. In 1873 Huxley was the society's biological secretary and would later serve as its president while Evans who was elected a fellow in 1864 would serve as its treasurer from 1878 to 1898. The two men were personal friends and corresponded on a wide range of subjects. Alongside his profession as a paper manufacturer Evans is credited with pioneering a more scientific approach to British archaeology. Two years after Huxley's Critiques was published Evans wrote a paper which applied Darwinian natural selection to the archaeological study of ancient British coins. The essays and addresses in this collection attest to Huxley's wide range of interests: education "The School Boards: What they can do and what they may do"; geology "On the Formation of Coal"; and Darwinian evolution "Palaeontology and the Doctrine of Evolution Darwin's Critics" among much else. Evans's attractive bookplate depicting a variety of antiquities and bearing the motto "I desire to deserve" is on the front pastedown. Octavo. Leaf of publisher's advertisements at rear.

1863181331London: Williams and Norgate 1863. Exploring human evolution some seven years before Darwin's Descent of Man First edition first issue presentation copy inscribed in a secretarial hand "from the author" on the half-title. Evidence is Huxley's key work deliberately written for a non-specialist audience and among his most influential contributions to the theory of human evolution being the first to bring together anatomical and embryonic evidence. In the Origin of Species Darwin carefully avoided the implications of his theory for humanity but Huxley boldly brought them to the fore. In the early 1860s Richard Owen had asserted that human and ape brains were fundamentally different and that the hippocampus minor was exclusively found in humans. In Evidence Huxley uses extensive dissectional evidence to disprove this emphasizing the human-ape commonality and relying on Darwinian evolution for his theoretical underpinnings. The work was also among the first to publicize the discovery of Neanderthal man. The first issue prints the frontispiece on the verso of the second leaf forming an integral part of the preliminaries and the "Advertisement to the Reader" appears on the recto of the fourth. Octavo pp. viii 159 1 8. Wood-engraved frontispiece extensive illustrations in the text. With 8 pp. of publisher's advertisements dated February 1863 at rear. Original green pebble-grain cloth spine lettered in gilt and ruled in blind covers panelled in blind brownish-red endpapers with printed advertisements. Near-contemporary blue ink ownership stamp of chemist and publisher John Balcomb 1841-1918 of Cheltenham to half-title. Infrequent pencil sidelining to contents. Light bumping wear and toning head of front joint starting infrequent minor foxing to otherwise fresh contents: a very good copy.
