Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography and Selected Essays It is rather an account of his own evolution than a record of the mere facts of his life; and if we wish to know more about him, about his many activities, about his contributions to science, about his writings, we must look elsewhere. All these things can be found in the ample biography for which we are indebted to his son. In the Appendix to the present volume there is a chronological table, which will enable the student to sur vey the seventy years of Huxley's life, one after another. This table supplies the dates of publication for all of Huxley's more important writings. It chronicles the posts that he held and the honors that came to him. And in a parallel column attention is called to other happenings of the three score years and ten between 1825 and 1895 - years of high importance in the progress of mankind.
