Extractions: Clark University Portrait by John Collier, 1883 This, T HE H UXLEY F ILE HE H UXLEY F ILE that appear only in obscure Victorian magazines or hidden archives will be of interest to those who do know him and may even have studied and published on him. Born on May 4, 1825, and expired on June 29, 1895, THH, it is hoped this project will prove, deserves resurrection into the fame he once enjoyed. T HE H UXLEY F ILE is a memorial to his achievements in many fields, its ambition to bring forth THH so that we can advance our understanding of Victorian culture, of the contrasting features of superstition and of science, and of our own time; and take pleasure in reading one of the finest writers of any time any where. If THH is known at all, it is as "Darwin’s bulldog." This self-imposed nickname recognizes the collegiate defense–and enthusiastic offense–he undertook in support of the theory of evolution. In November of 1859, after reading the newly-published Origin of Species

Extractions: I am sharpening up my claws and beak in readiness Letter of T. H. Huxley to Charles Darwin, November 23, 1859, regarding the Origin of Species Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the first adherents to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, and did more than anyone else to advance its acceptance among scientists and the public alike. As is evident from the letter quoted above, Huxley was a passionate defender of Darwin's theory so passionate that he has been called "Darwin's Bulldog". But Huxley was not only the bulldog for Darwin's theory, but was a great biologist in his own right, who did original research in zoology and paleontology. Nor did he slavishly and uncritically swallow Darwin's theory; he criticized several aspects of it, pointing out a number of problems. Biography of Huxley He was born on May 4, 1825, in Ealing, near London, the seventh of eight children in a family that was none too affluent. Huxley's only childhood education was two years at Ealing school, where his father taught mathematics; this ended in 1835 when the family moved to Coventry. Despite his lack of formal education, young Huxley read voraciously in science, history, and philosophy, and taught himself German. At the age of 15, Huxley began a medical apprenticeship; soon he won a scholarship to study at Charing Cross Hospital. At 21, Huxley signed on as assistant surgeon on the H.M.S.

http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/H/Huxley.html

Extractions: English biologist who became the foremost expounder of Darwinism of his time and a pioneer of the modern idea that life evolved from non-living matter. His Edinburgh lecture "On the Physical Basis of Life," in 1868, can be seen as the starting point for the scientific debate about the chemical origin of life and the final denunciation of vitalism . Pointing out that protoplasm (which he considered to be the fundamental substance of life) was made principally from the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which were combined into water, carbonic acid, and nitrogen compounds, he said: These new compounds, like the elementary bodies of which they are composed, are lifeless. But when they are brought together, under certain conditions, they give rise to the still more complex body, protoplasm, and this protoplasm exhibits the phenomenon of life. I see no break in this series of steps in molecular complication. His line of reasoning was soon taken up by Tyndall and others. Huxley's tutelage of H. G.

Extractions: Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors. Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority. The great tragedy of science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of motherwit, either in science or in practical life.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/h/huxley.htm

Extractions: Thomas Henry Huxley, the distinguished zoologist and advocate of Darwinism, madeseveral incursions into philosophy. From his youth he had studied its problems unsystematically; he had a way of going straight to the point in any discussion; and, judged by a literary standard, he was a great master of expository and argumentative prose. Apart from his special work in science, he had an important influence upon English thought through his numerous addresses and essays on the topics of science, philosophy, religion, and politics. Among the most important of his papers relevant here are those entitled 'The Physical Basis of Life' (1868), and 'On the Hypothesis that Animals are Automata' (1874), along with a monograph on Hume (1879) and the Romanes lecture Ethics and Evolution (1893). Huxley is credited with the invention of the term 'agnosticism' to describe his philosophical position: it expresses his attitude towards certain traditional questions without giving any clear delimitation of the frontiers of the knowable. He regards consciousness as a collateral effect of certain physical causes, and only an effectnever also a cause. But, on the other hand, he holds that matter is only a symbol, and that all physical phenomena can be analyzed into states of consciousness. This leaves mental facts in the peculiar position of being collateral effects of something that, after all, is only a symbol for a mental fact; and the contradiction is left without remark.

Extractions: While he was on board the navy ship, Huxley collected and studied samples of quite a few different marine invertebrates. When he returned from his travels on the ship, his studies and research on marine life had won him a place in the scientific community. He soon became acquainted with people like Charles Darwin and Joseph Hooker. Origin of Species , Huxley reaction was: "How stupid of me not to have thought of that." Huxley was a brilliant man. He won many awards, including the Royal, Copley and Darwin medals. Many honors were his to claim. These no doubt contributed to his election to the first school board of London. Thomas Huxley was an important man in the scientific community. He wrote many essays and books that reflect his view. T.

http://www.nahste.ac.uk/isaar/GB_0237_NAHSTE_P0305.html

Extractions: Biographical Information Occupation, Sphere of Activity Thomas Henry Huxley ( ), popularly known as 'Darwin's Bulldog' because of his defence of the theories of Charles Darwin ( ), was a much more complex person than this simplistic image of an unquestioning defender of Darwinism would suggest. Though his father was a school mathematics teacher and assistant headmaster, Huxley had little formal schooling (by some accounts, no more than two years in all), and he was largely self-taught. His talent for drawing, which was useful to him in later life when describing the animals he investigated, was already clear when he was a child. He had initially hoped to study mechanical engineering, but was pressured by his family into studying medicine. Aged 14, Huxley attended a post-mortem, and seems to have caught a disease or poisoning (the nature of which is not known precisely) that affected his health for the rest of his life, requiring occasional recuperative trips to the countryside. Huxley studied medecine at Charing Cross hospital, and graduated with an MB from the recently founded University of London in

Extractions: Published by the Web Development Group, Information Technology Services, University of Toronto Libraries From Shanklin Westminster Abbey Thomas Henry Huxley, the great Victorian scientist, "Darwin's bulldog," was born in Ealing on May 4, 1825. Despite having only two years of formal schooling, he obtained his M.B. at London University in 1845. This led to a posting as a naval surgeon with H.M.S. Rattlesnake on a surveying voyage to Australia from 1846 to 1850. Research undertaken on this trip led to anatomical papers on the hydrozoa and medusae that were rewarded when he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1851. In 1854, Huxley left the navy and joined the Royal School of Mines in London as lecturer in natural history. He married an Australian, Henrietta Anne Heathorn, in July 1855. His lifelong defence of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species began in 1859 with an article in The Times . He became Hunterian professor at the Royal College of Surgeons (1863-69) and Fullerian professor at the Royal Institution (1863-67), President of the Royal Society (1881), and recipient of the Copley Medal (1888) and the Darwin Medal (1894).

Extractions: Dear wife, for more than thirty years Have you and I, hand clasped in hand, Sometimes all smiles, sometimes in bitter tears, Wended our way through the strange land Of living men; until with silvering hair, And graver mien and steps more slow, Adown the strand of age we fare To the still ocean, out beyond time's flow. True wife, housemother, worn with many cares, Love's afterglow shall brighten all the years That yet are ours; and closer still shall be our clasp Of hands, until they nerveless fall and cease to grasp.

http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/~alroy/lefa/Huxley.html

Extractions: "Darwin's bulldog"; a quick convert to Darwin's evolutionism who became the theory's most important advocate during the next two decades. A tireless lecturer, educator, and popular writer who was largely responsible for professionalizing science in Britain. He feuded with Owen even before the Origin , especially on the anatomical relationships of men and apes; his famous debate with Bishop Samuel Wilberforce at the 1860 meeting of the BAAS followed from this dispute. Ironically, his support for the selection theory was tenuous, and he only became interested in building trees and showing evolutionary sequences after reading Haeckel 's Generelle Morphologie. Despite this and being a personal friend of Herbert Spencer , he later opposed that thinker's Lamarckian, laissez faire social theories. During the voyage of the Rattlesnake he conducted studies of jellyfish showing that they were unrelated to the echinoderms, which began his campaign to dismantle Cuvier 's four embranchements (especially the "Radiata"). Later, he turned to vertebrate paleontology, studying fossil hominids and living apes, discovering the descent of birds from dinosaurs, and expounding on the fossil horse sequence as proof of evolution, first using
