"Scott's legacy has been buffered to and fro like the Antarctic wind over the past 100 years. In the aftermath of his death which was not known about back home for almost another year he was hailed as a hero by a declining Empire desperately in need of one. In later years he has been traduced as an incompetent indecisive amateur. Somewhere between the two a middle ground can be found emphasising his team's scientific discoveries and the extreme conditions they faced without either condemning or cheerleading. Regardless it is difficult not to feel a small Edwardian lump rising at the back of your throat when you read one of the final diary entries: 'Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.'" - Iain Hollingshead Smith Elder & Co. Ltd., London, 1913. hardcover
1873réf. 167597London: Macmillan and Co. 1873. Presented to one of Huxley's close friends at the Royal Society First edition presentation copy inscribed on the half-title: "John Evans esq from his friend T. H. Huxley". Huxley collaborated with Sir John Evans 1823-1908 the eminent archaeologist in the administration of several learned societies in London most notably the Royal Society. In 1873 Huxley was the society's biological secretary and would later serve as its president while Evans who was elected a fellow in 1864 would serve as its treasurer from 1878 to 1898. The two men were personal friends and corresponded on a wide range of subjects. Alongside his profession as a paper manufacturer Evans is credited with pioneering a more scientific approach to British archaeology. Two years after Huxley's Critiques was published Evans wrote a paper which applied Darwinian natural selection to the archaeological study of ancient British coins. The essays and addresses in this collection attest to Huxley's wide range of interests: education "The School Boards: What they can do and what they may do"; geology "On the Formation of Coal"; and Darwinian evolution "Palaeontology and the Doctrine of Evolution Darwin's Critics" among much else. Evans's attractive bookplate depicting a variety of antiquities and bearing the motto "I desire to deserve" is on the front pastedown. Octavo. Leaf of publisher's advertisements at rear.
