Best.-Nr. 6003Letter 27 January 1966; on letterhead 31 Pond Street Hampstead N.W.3. Reply 29 January 1966. Juliette Huxley's letter is 4to: 2 pp. Good though lightly creased and attached to the other items by a paperclip. The correspondence mainly concerns a book by Cowell's eventually published under the title 'The garden as a fine art: from antiquity to modern times' 1978. She begins by describing Mary Wellesley: 'quite a character . lives in a small house off St. James's Palace and entertains by candlelight. Her uncle is the Duke of Wellesley . She has acquired a forest and soon after went to various forestry meetings and school to learn all about it.' 'About your gardens: have you quoted Song Solomon I 14 I think it is'. Discusses henna and Engeddi 'a beautiful oasis with several springs flowing from high cliffs and nourishing what otherwise would be a salty hellish desert . Also 'Herod's palace at Massada' 'Of course your book will be accepted for publication; have you tried Weidenfeld and Nicholson the eventual publishers I am thinking of going to him with MY Israel book. And of course those flower photos would be available to you for illustration.' The Huxleys hope to return to Israel that March 'to see the spring flowers' and she would 'inquire further' if they did. The unsigned copy of Cowell's reply is 4to: 3 pp. On typing paper creased and worn at extremities. Begins 'You have always been at a high altitude in the hierarchy of angels but now if there is any further step to take you may be regarded as having made it by your splendid letter of the 27th.' 'Lilian' is grateful 'for Miss Wellesley's story' and he is urging her 'to lure her down one fine day when the daffodils are in full song with other floral excitements to match . She would be a splendid counsellor on such bits of timber and planting as we have on our modest five acres.' Discusses their neighbour 'Mrs. Frederick Balfour now rising 85 I believe' who 'helped her late husband in perilous journeys on horseback in the Rockies of Oregon to discover some of the splendid things that now flourish there'. Discusses the biblical passage quoted by Huxley and is sending 'a carbon of my stuff on the gardens of the Holy Land' present as the last page of the letter. Mentions a few scholars in the field. 'Walter Neurath founder of the publishers Thames and Hudson has gone rather sour on the book. He seems to have imported one of those rewrite men from America whose activities have been the subject of such splendid denunciation in the T.L.S. and this young man offered to rewrite some of my stuff. I should like to hear the explosion if any such trick were tried on Julian or Ric Mortimer Wheeler. I expect they were all trained in 'Creative Writing' in some Mid-West college.' Discusses Weidenfeld as an option. He wishes Julian Huxley to know that he has received 'a splendid letter from Roger Saydoux from New York two days ago picking up and returning my nostalgia for those grand early days'.

1932Best.-Nr. 004245Original typed letter. LODGE Sir Oliver 1851-1940. Typed letter signed to Hermann Reinheimer concerning symbiosis and Julian Huxley Normanton House Lake near Salisbury 21 March 1932. Typed letter signed one page 175x220mm on Lodge's Normanton House letterhead dated 21 March 1932 and addressed at foot to H. Reinheimer Esq. Signed by Oliver Lodge in ink. Old horizontal and vertical folds light handling and minor marks with small traces of a paper clip near the upper edge; very good. The physicist and pioneer of wireless communication writes to the evolutionary author Hermann Reinheimer 1872-1964 concerning symbiosis candidly declining to write with authority on a subject outside his own field and recommending Julian Huxley in his place: "As far as I know all biologists accept symbiosis as a reality; but I am not a biologist and could not write with authority. I see that Dr. Julian Huxley is favourably impressed by your work and I suggest that he would be the best man to write a preface." Sir Oliver Lodge was one of the leading British physicists of his generation known particularly for his work on electromagnetism and the early development of wireless communication. Hermann Reinheimer wrote extensively on evolution cooperation and symbiosis including Symbiosis: A Socio-physiological Study of Evolution published in 1920. Julian Huxley whom Lodge recommends here was already a prominent evolutionary biologist and would become one of the major scientific figures of the twentieth century. An interesting scientific letter linking the three scientists on the subject of symbiosis. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1932. Original typed letter paperback

1896Best.-Nr. 94972Paris, Felix Alcan, 1896, in-8, front, XVI-415 pp, 2 cartes depl, Demi-chagrin vert, dos richement fleuronné, marque de prix sur le plat supérieur [Ville de Paris, Prix municipal], tranches dorées, Troisième édition française, revue et corrigée d'après la quatorzième édition anglaise (?Physiography, An Introduction to the Study of Nature, édition originale 1877). La traduction de Georges Lamy (né en 1857), précédemment parue en 1882 et 1892, comporte des adaptations : les deux chapitres sur la Tamise ont été remplacés par deux autres sur la Seine; les deux cartes ainsi proposées par Lamy ont été dressées par lui-même, et sont gravées par Erhard (Geslot). L'une illustre l'hydrographie et le nivellement des bassins de la Seine et de la Somme; l'autre la géologie du bassin de la Seine. Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), "naturaliste emblématique de la science victorienne" est relativement peu connu du grand public français, qui connait mieux son petit-fils, Aldous. Il joua pourtant un rôle essentiel dans la défense et la diffusion de la théorie de l'évolution, ce qui lui valut le surnom de "bouledogue de Darwin". Ses textes ont surtout été diffusés en France par Émile Alglave, directeur de la Bibliothèque scientifique internationale et de la Revue des cours scientifiques (Revue Rose).

1942Best.-Nr. FB3806 /17Green cloth binding with gilt title on the spine FIRST EDITION This classic work by Julian Huxley first published in 1942 captured and synthesized all that was then known about evolutionary biology and gave a name to the Modern Synthesis the conceptual structure underlying the field for most of the twentieth century. Many considered Huxley's book a popularization of the ideas then emerging in evolutionary biology but in fact Evolution: The Modern Synthesis is a work of serious scholarship that is also accessible to the general educated public. It is a book in the intellectual tradition of Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley--Julian Huxley's grandfather known for his energetic championing of Darwin's ideas. A contemporary reviewer called "Evolution: The Modern Synthesis' the outstanding evolutionary treatise of the decade perhaps the century".This definitive edition brings one of the most important and successful scientific books of the twentieth century back into print. It includes the entire text of the 1942 edition Huxley's introduction to the 1963 second edition which demonstrates his continuing command of the field and the introduction to the 1974 third edition written by nine experts many of them Huxley's associates from different areas of evolutionary biology.
