About This Item

New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. A Very Good copy of the first edition, first printing in the Publisher's original boards (the leading edge of which show some lightening), with each volume wearing the QUITE SCARCE DUST JACKET (each of which shows edgewear and loss), being the only jacketed set we have seen. Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was a leading English Biologist and anthropologist who specialized in comparative anatomy. He was seen as an intellectual powerhouse and pugnacious and unyielding debater and was such a strong advocate of Darwin's theory of evolution that he was frequently described as "Darwin's Bulldog". Copies of this work in the original dust jackets are quite difficult to find. SCARCE INDEED.
