Lecture - The Present Condition of Organic Nature Summary

Of the great thinkers of the nineteenth century, Thomas Henry Huxley, son of an Ealing schoolmaster, was undoubtedly the most noteworthy. His researches in biology, his contributions to scientific controversy, his pungent criticisms of conventional beliefs and thoughts have probably had greater influence than the work of any other English scientist. And yet he was a “self-made” intellectualist. In spite of the fact that his father was a schoolmaster he passed through no regular course of education. “I had,” he said, “two years of a pandemonium of a school (between eight and ten) and after that neither help nor sympathy in any intellectual direction till I reached manhood.” When he was twelve a craving for reading found satisfaction in Hutton’s “Geology,” and when fifteen in Hamilton’s “Logic.”
