He was, however, an influential naturalist, anatomist and religious thinker, who coined the term 'agnostic' to describe his own beliefs. Almost entirely self-educated, he became an authority in anatomy and palaeontology, and after the discovery of the archaeopteryx, he was the first to suggest that birds had evolved from dinosaurs. He was also a keen promoter of scientific education who strove to make science a paid profession, not dependent on patronage or wealth. Published in 1903, this three-volume work, edited by his son Leonard Huxley, is the second and most complete edition of Huxley's biography and selected letters. Volume 1 covers the period 1825–69, including his expedition to Australasia and the publication of the On the Origin of Species (1859).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1. 1825–42\u003cbr\u003e 2. 1841–46\u003cbr\u003e 3. 1846–49\u003cbr\u003e 4. 1848–50\u003cbr\u003e 5. 1850–54\u003cbr\u003e 6. 1851–54\u003cbr\u003e 7. 1851–53\u003cbr\u003e 8. 1854\u003cbr\u003e 9. 1855\u003cbr\u003e 10. 1855–58\u003cbr\u003e 11. 1857–58\u003cbr\u003e 12. 1859–60\u003cbr\u003e 13. 1859\u003cbr\u003e 14. 1859–60\u003cbr\u003e 15. 1860–63\u003cbr\u003e 16. 1860–61\u003cbr\u003e 17. 1861–63\u003cbr\u003e 18. 1864\u003cbr\u003e 19. 1865\u003cbr\u003e 20. 1866\u003cbr\u003e 21. 1867\u003cbr\u003e 22. 1868\u003cbr\u003e 23. 1869.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266064503064,"sku":"9781108040457","price":43.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108040457i_2db91a43-eb54-4178-82c2-af663a4ae437.jpg?v=1696746459","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/life-and-letters-of-thomas-henry-huxley-paperback-9781108040457","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
