1946réf. 500339"Aldous Huxley" Llano CA March 1 1946. A letter with fine literary content to Gerald Kahan concerning the film rights to "Brave New World": "Your letter has been forwarded to me from Harpers. The dramatic rights to Brave New World were given some years ago to a man who is at present raising such difficulties about his rights that a projected screen version of the book has had to be abandoned. This being so I cannot grant permission for a dramatization such as you propose. It would only complicate a situation which is difficult and unpleasant enough as it is. But such alas is life." 4to 1 page with holgraphed addressed envelope signed "Huxley" in return address portion. books
1883réf. 1382London: Macmillan and Co. 1883.

Spine faded otherwise unmarked and very good in custom archival mylar cover. From Preface: "Very soon after I began to teach Natural History or what we now call Biology at the Royal School of Mines some twenty years ago I arrived at the conviction that the study of living bodies is really one discipline which is divided into Zoology and Botany simply as a matter of convenience; and that the scientific Zoologist should no more be ignorant of the fundamental phenomena of vegetable life than the scientific Botanist of those of animal existence. Moreover it was obvious that the road to a sound and thorough knowledge of Zoology and Botany lay through Morphology and Physiology; and that as in the case of all other physical sciences so in these sound and thorough knowledge was only to be obtained by practical work in he laboratory." THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY 1825 – 1895 was an English biologist and anthropologist who specialized in comparative anatomy. He has become known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Huxley had little formal schooling and was virtually self-taught. He became perhaps the finest comparative anatomist of the later 19th century. He worked on invertebrates clarifying relationships between groups previously little understood. Later he worked on vertebrates especially on the relationship between apes and humans. After comparing Archaeopteryx with Compsognathus he concluded that birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs a belief still widely held today. The thirty-one years during which Huxley occupied the chair of natural history at the Royal School of Mines included work on vertebrate paleontology and on many projects to advance the place of science in British life. When Huxley himself was young there were virtually no degrees in British universities in the biological sciences and few courses. Most biologists of his day either were self-taught or took medical degrees. When he retired there were established chairs in biological disciplines in most universities and a broad consensus on the curricula to be followed. Huxley was the single most influential person in this transformation. Huxley was also a major influence in the direction taken by British schools: in November 1870 he was elected to the London School Board in its first elections. Macmillan and Co. hardcover books
