* Voorhees, Irving Wilson. Teachings of Thomas Henry Huxley. $1. Broadway pub.
7–30873.
“After recounting with brevity the influences of heredity and environment which acted upon Huxley’s early years, the author sets forth and discusses his teachings in biology, theology, education, morals, and psychology, and concerning individual rights and the gospel of work. He believes that two main forces were at work throughout Huxley’s life—‘the one that of the scientific investigator, full of enthusiasm, dominant, persevering, toiling arduously day by day.... The other that of the polemical philosopher, fond of arguments, combative ... fighting ... partly for victory, partly for the upholding of what he deemed a principle of ideal.’”—N. Y. Times.
“A sympathetic interpretation.”

“The book is written impartially, recognizing fully the philosopher’s great services to scientific advancement, but discussing freely the flaws in his theories.”
