His partisanship earned him the nickname of "Darwin's Bulldog," although he did not accept the theory uncritically. In addition to his work in biology, he did original research in zoology and paleontology. He is also remembered as the progenitor of a family of highly successful scientists and thinkers. This collection is made up of letters, primarily written by Huxley, on a variety of topics including the age of man, evolution, education, natural history, science, geology, spiritualism, and vivisection. The most voluminous correspondence is with Sir James Thomas Knowles (30 letters) and with Huxley's daughter, Ethel Huxley Collier, "Babs," (44 items).). The 30 letters to Knowles appear in neither the Life and Letters

When he returned from his travels on the ship, his studies and research on marine life had won him a place in the scientific community. He soon became acquainted with people like Charles Darwin and Joseph Hooker. Origin of Species , Huxley reaction was: "How stupid of me not to have thought of that." Huxley was a brilliant man. He won many awards, including the Royal, Copley and Darwin medals. Many honors were his to claim. These no doubt contributed to his election to the first school board of London.

    Extractions: Language of Material : eng On the affinities of the family of the medusa . Huxley returned to Britain in 1850 and that year too he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1854 he began lecturing in Natural History and Paleontology at the Government School of Mines in Piccadilly, and in 1859 some research of his appeared as The Oceanic Hydrozoa . Meanwhile, from 1856, there began a long association between Huxley and Charles Darwin, the former seeing Darwin's approach as an important support to his own ambition of building a new scientific elite unbound by old constraints. Support of Darwin and his evolutionary naturalism provided him with the nickname 'Darwin's bulldog'. Huxley challenged the notion of supernatural creation and, as an advocate of agnosticism, a term which he coined, he sought no reconciliation between science and theology. In 1861 he observed that human and ape did not significantly differ and in 1863 he published Zoological evidence as to man's place in nature and On the causes of the phenomena of organic nature . In the academic session 1875-1876, he delivered a course of lectures in Zoology at Edinburgh University. Huxley served as President of the Geological Society (1869-71), the Ethnological Society (1868-71), the British Association for the Advancement of Science (1870), the Marine Biological Association (1884-90), and the Royal Society (1883-85). He also sat on several Royal Commissions, including that on the Sea-fisheries of the UK. His other publications include

    Extractions: Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was an English natural scientists and author who became widely known as "Darwin's Bulldog" because of his fierce and uncompromising defense of Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection. Huxley's career as a public defender of evolution and antagonist of religion began most fully when he stood in for Darwin at a 1860 meeting in Oxford of the British Association. At this meeting, he debated Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, a cleric who had been attacking evolution and naturalistic explanations of life because they degraded religion and human dignity. Huxley's counterattacks, however, made him very popular and quite famous, leading to many speaking invitations and many published articles and pamphlets. Huxley later invented the term "agnosticism," which was for him was a position which rejected the knowledge claims of both "strong" atheism and traditional theism. More importantly, agnosticism for him was a method of doing things. In 1889 he wrote in "Agnosticism":

    Extractions: Huxley, an English biologist and educator, gave up his own biological research to become an influential scientific publicist and was the principal exponent of Darwinism in England. An agnostic, he doubted all things not immediately open to logical analysis and scientific verification. He held up truth as an ideal and spoke and wrote frequently on its tool, the scientific method, and its yield, the evolutionary theory. He placed human ethics outside the scope of the materialistic processes of evolution; he believed that civilization is man’s protest against nature and that progress is achieved by the human control of evolution. Huxley held numerous public offices, serving on 10 royal commissions.

    Extractions: April 11, 2000       Born on May 4, 1825, Thomas Henry Huxley was the seventh of eight children. He was delivered around eight o’clock in the morning in Ealing, England, a town just outside of London. His family, consisting of ten people, was quite economically challenged (Waggoner). Huxley’s father held the position of schoolmaster at the Ealing school, and that was the only source of lively hood for the entire family (Huxley 26). Huxley was greatly a self made man, providing for his own needs and education to get him where he desired to be.       The only formal education Huxley ever received consisted of merely two years at Ealing school where his father taught mathematics. In 1835, Huxley’s family moved from Ealing to Coventry, England, effectively terminating Huxley’s formal education. From that point on, Huxley took his education into his own hands. He independently taught himself German using only books, which he read quite avidly. Among his informal studies, he took the most liking to history, philosophy and the sciences, although he ultimately wanted to become a mechanical engineer (Huxley 30). Throughout Huxley’s self education, he kept a consistent journal of personal revelations and things he found interesting within his studies. He would also consult and talk with elders about his self discoveries he came across during his reading.       Huxley focused upon the scientific avenue when he was quite young. At the age of only fifteen, he began his studies under a medical apprenticeship. Huxley recalls attending his first post-mortem examination with much distaste. If anything, the experience only repelled him from the more involved form of anatomical research. A long lasting mental side effect from the traumatizing experience was Huxley’s hypochondriacal dyspepsia, or the belief that one is constantly suffering from illnesses. After a brief partial recovery upon a ranch at Warwick shire, Huxley achieved the opportunity to study at Charing Cross Hospital through a scholarship (Huxley 31). It was there at Charing Cross Hospital that Huxley met Mr. Wharton Jones, a lecturer on physiology, who both inspired and taught Huxley a great deal (Huxley 33).

Student life T.H. Huxley , born above a butcher's shop, was the youngest of the six surviving children of schoolmaster George Huxley and his wife, Rachel . Although Huxley received only two years (1833-35) of formal education at his father's declining Ealing School, its evangelicalism later marked his scientific rhetoric. From 1835 his father tried managing a bank in his native Coventry, which left Huxley footloose in the ribbon-weaving city.

    Extractions: Search The University of Georgia Humanities Center Series on Science and the Humanities Thomas Henry Huxley Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was one of the intellectual giants of Victorian England. Initially a surgeon by training, he became the principal exponent of Darwinism and popularizer of "scientific naturalism." His public advocacy of evolution, the voice he gave to science as a dignified and vital profession, the powerful offices he held in its societies, and the many volumes he published of and about science made Huxley among the most influential of all nineteenth-century figures in the history of science. Huxley was a prolific essayist, and his writings put him at the center of intellectual debate in England during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Alan P. Barr's edition of The Major Prose of Thomas Henry Huxley fills a very real and pressing chasm in history of science books, bringing together almost all of Huxley's major nontechnical prose, including Man's Place in Nature and both "Evolution in Ethics" and its "Prolegomena."

    Extractions: Huxley, Thomas Henry English scientist and humanist. Following the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species 1859, he became known as 'Darwin's bulldog', and for many years was a prominent champion of evolution. In 1869, he coined the word 'agnostic' to express his own religious attitude, and is considered the founder of scientific humanism. Huxley found the system of classification introduced by French anatomist Georges Cuvier to be inadequate for the sea creatures he studied on his voyage. He reclassified the animal kingdom into Annuloida, Annulosa, Infusoria, Coelenterata, Mollusca, Molluscoida, Protozoa, and Vertebrata, and started a fundamental revision of the Mollusca. He also produced a new system of classification of birds, based mainly on the palate and other bony structures, which is the foundation of the modern system.

    Extractions: Thomas Henry Huxley Thomas Henry Huxley was born to George and Rachel Huxley on the fourth of May 1825 in the village of Ealing. Although he received only two years of formal education, young Huxley had a huge appetite for learinng. He enjoyed reading and read widely from areas as diverse as theology and geology. He even taught himself German so that he could read German works. His quest for knowledge never ended and even at the age of 53, he learned Greek to enable him to read the original works of Aristotle. Huxley’s intellectual turning point came when he accepted the post of assistant-surgeon on board the Rattlesnake in 1846. The ship was sent on an exploration voyage to the eastern coasts of Australia. Huxley took this chance to observe and study sea animals closely. This trip, lasting for four years, laid the foundation for his future works. In addition, he also met his wife, Henrietta Annie Heathorn who he married in 1855 when the Rattlesnake was at Sidney. Huxley was Darwin’s bulldog , his disciple and champion. He was at the forefront of the battle to gain the acceptance of Darwin’s theories. Huxley advocated the idea of evolution and wrote articles defending Darwin. In addition, he participated in debates against those who refused to accept evolution. A "take-no-prisoner" debater, he was brilliant in tearing down his opponents’ arguments. His victory over Bishop Wilberforce , Bishop of Oxford was the turning point of Darwinism and won many supporters to his side. Huxley was always a master in writing. He made Darwin’s theories clear and easy to understand. Even Darwin was so impressed with Huxley that he was at times jealous of his bulldog.

    http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/ps2/PS2READ/Huxley.htm
    
    Extractions: THE METHOD OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION by Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) The method of scientific investigation is nothing but the expression of the necessary mode of working of the human mind. It is simply the mode at which all phenomena are reasoned about, rendered precise and exact. There is no more difference, but there is just the same kind of difference, between the mental operations of a man of science and those of an ordinary person, as there is between the operations and methods of a baker or of a butcher weighing out his goods in common scales, and the operations of a chemist in performing a difficult and complex analysis by means of his balance and finely graduated weights. It is not that the action of the scales in the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their construction or manner of working; but the beam of one is set on an infinitely finer axis than the other, and of course turns by the addition of a much smaller weight. You will understand this better, perhaps, if I give you some familiar example. You have all heard it repeated, I dare say, that men of science work by means of induction and deduction, and that by the help of these operations, they, in a sort of sense, wring from Nature certain other things, which are called natural laws, and causes, and that out of these, by some cunning skill of their own, they build up hypotheses and theories. And it is imagined by many, that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these processes, and that they have to be acquired by a sort of special apprenticeship to the craft. To hear all these large words, you would think that the mind of a man of science must be constituted differently from that of his fellow men; but if you will not be frightened by terms, you will discover that you are quite wrong, and that all these terrible apparatus are being used by yourselves every day and every hour of your lives.
