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. "The Crayfish his famous volume in the International Scientific Series has been called by Professor Howes the assistant and successor of Huxley at the Royal College of Science 'PROBABLY THE BEST BIOLOGICAL TREATISE EVER WRITTEN.'"

1858411<p><strong>Folio 36.2 x 26.2 cm. x 143 pp.; 12 engraved plates with explanatory text leaves a few text figures. Original quarter linen over limp boards. 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. On the front pastedown an armorial bookplate of the Rashleigh family Menabilly. At least one Rashleigh Jonathan junior 1845-1872 was interested in marine biology. A pencilled annotation on the Ray Society title. Boards and spine a bit worn at edges; text and plates mostly clean. A very good copy housed in a custom dark green slipcase with paper label.
