The Human Mind And The Behaviour Of Man

The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's inked name and date on the front endpaper and another inked name on the front pastedown page. "The Science of Life is a book written by H. G. Wells Julian Huxley and G. P. Wells published in three volumes by The Waverley Publishing Company Ltd in 1929�30 giving a popular account of all major aspects of biology as known in the 1920s. It has been called "the first modern textbook of biology"3 and "the best popular introduction to the biological sciences." Wells's most recent biographer notes that The Science of Life "is not quite as dated as one might suppose." In undertaking The Science of Life H. G. Wells who had published The Outline of History a decade earlier selling over two million copies desired the same sort of treatment for biology. He thought of his readership as "the intelligent lower middle classes . . . not idiots half-wits . . . Greenhorns religious fanatics . . . Smart women or men who know all that there is to be known." Julian Huxley the grandson of T. H. Huxley under whom Wells had studied biology and his son "Gip" a zoologist divided the initial writing between them; H. G. Wells revised dealt with the help of his literary agent A. P. Watt with publishers and acted as a strict taskmaster often obliging his collaborators to sit down and work together and keeping them on a tight schedule. H. G. Wells had begun the book during his wife's final illness and is said to have used work on the book as a way to keep his mind off his loss. " . Doubleday, Doran & Company , Inc. hardcover

The Shape of Things to Come: The Ultimate Revolution Association copy inscribed to Julian Huxley
London: Hutchinson & Co 1933. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. 432 12 ads pp. Dark navy cloth stamped in blind at front spine lettered in gilt. Very Good with bumped corners and light edge wear in a Very Good dust jacket with a little expert restoration of the head sunning and crease to spine panel edge wear single piece of tape on verso. Signed on front free endpaper by H.G. Wells and inscribed to Julian Huxley brother of Brave New World author Aldous Huxley and a co-author with Wells of the 1930 nonfiction book The Science of Life "Julian another from H.G." Huxley's close reading of this copy is clear from his marginal pencil lines throughout which he indexed in pencil on the rear endpaper and paste down. A significant association between two major British intellectuals with similar philosophies who for a time had a close friendship. While best known as "the father of science fiction" for his pioneering novels that presaged many future technologies such as this work Wells was also a trained biologist whose first published book was a science text. Huxley was a prominent evolutionary theorist and eugenicist following in his father's footsteps-- his father being Wells' biology professor and mentor in college. According to Julian's Memoirs the two met in 1926. Shortly thereafter he was asked by Wells to collaborate with him and his son G.P. on a scientific follow-up to Wells' epic The Outline of History that would become The Science of Life. Wells proved to be a demanding taskmaster rusty about biology having focused on fiction and other subjects for so long and Huxley had to resign his professorship to handle the bulk of the research and writing. The two became close friends and correspondents over the next three years. They would stay friends until 1941 when Huxley dared to limit Wells to 20 minutes at the podium of an upcoming meeting of the British Association. Wells had been looking forward to expounding on many of his internationalist futurist ideas expounded in this novel and his nonfiction The New World Order at great length was mortally offended at the rebuff canceled his appearance and the two never met again.

WEST Nathanael. HUXLEY Aldous
The Cicadas West's Copy of Huxley's Book with Notes
London: Chatto & Windus. 1931. Nathanael West's copy of Huxley's collection of poetry with West's holograph notes on five of the front and rear endpages. Approximately 250 words mostly quotes of other writers -- Huxley Gray Shakespeare; some light but most quite serious: "In matters of love it is absurd to stand on your dignity and claim your rights. Such experiences cannot be judged and calculated like a matter of business. One gives as much and as long as one can & one does not bargain. Take what is given to you." West concludes with: "The paths of glory lead but to the grave." The year this book was published West published his first novel. Later in the 1930s both West and Huxley were employed as Hollywood screenwriters. West died in 1940 at the age of 37. The provenance of this book leads from West to his brother-in-law S.J. Perelman to the writer and bookseller George Sims who recounts the circumstances of his purchasing books from Perelman in the early 1970s presumably including this one. A photocopy of a note from Sims is laid in. Fading to spine spotting to cloth short tear to lower front joint; still very good without dust jacket. Publisher's extra spine label tipped to rear free endpaper. A wonderful glimpse of West's musings and inner life. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Chatto & Windus hardcover
