T. H. Huxley's Diary of the Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake

Abstract

He belongs to that small group of great men who exercised a profound influence over their contemporaries by the force of their courageous and outspoken characters. Those who follow after and whose heritage has been enriched by the words and actions of men of such calibre find in the details of their lives an interest which never fails.
