Huxley was an early advocate of Darwinism and in fact was the first to use the term 'Darwinism' and did much to popularize and support the theory of evolution in the nineteenth century. The present work is based on lectures delivered by Huxley during the period 1860 - 1863 in which he explained Darwin's ideas to a more popular audience. An attractive copy of this book from an important period in the history of science. A Very Good volume with toning to the first and final blank leaves a few traces of minor discoloration to the cloth and darkening and a tiny bit of loss to the spine label. D.
