Abstract
THE editor, whose commands it has long ceased to be possible for an old contributor to gainsay, has desired me to write some notice of the first of these volumes. That his choice should have fallen upon a botanist is perhaps singular: for though there was no branch of biological science to which Huxley was not sympathetic, the bulk of his work is entirely beyond my powers of criticism. Other hands, I understand, will do justice to it as the successive volumes appear.
The Scientific Memoirs of Thomas Henry Huxley.
