Abstract
MORE than twenty years ago a French translation of Prof. Huxley's well - known work, “Man's Place in Nature,” was published. The translator was Dr. E. Dally. In the present volume this rendering is reissued, and along with it are associated translations of three papers in which Prof. Huxley has presented his ideas on various ethnological subjects. These papers have been translated by Dr. Henry de Varigny, to whom Prof. Huxley expresses thanks for the care he has taken to represent clearly and faithfully the meaning of the original. The volume will be very welcome to French students who desire to understand the methods and tendencies of English scientific thought.
La Place de l'Homme dans la Nature.
By T. H. Huxley. (Paris: B. B. Baillière et Fils, 1891.)
