Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. 1 of 3: By His Son Leonard Huxley My thanks are due to a number of friends for pointing out to me various misprints and other errors or omissions which had passed unnoticed in the first edition. Professor Howes in particular has furnished the titles of several scientific memoirs, the identification of which is due to his careful research in the journals of the learned societies. Of the fresh material which has come into my hands recently, I have printed two or three letters. In one or two passages, also, I have altered the wording slightly in deference to Mr. Herbert Spencer, who thought that despite the definite statement quoted from a letter of his on ii. 442, the public would receive the impression that my father's reading of his proofs had extended to all his works.
