Abstract
The general and scientific correspondence of T. H. Huxley cannot fail to be of interest to a wide circle of students. His correspondents included not only men of science, but also those eminent in almost every field of learning. In 1937, through the Friends of the National Libraries, his correspondence and miscellaneous papers were acquired by the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and afterwards a few additions have been made by private donors. Mr. Dawson was entrusted with arranging, classifying and cataloguing this large mass of documents, comprising some 4,500 letters to and from about 850 correspondents, and the results are presented in the present volume.
