Project Gutenberg 2005-03-21 Public domain in the USA. 124 Huxley, Leonard 1860 1933 Thomas Henry Huxley: A Character Sketch Produced by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, S.R.Ellison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Thomas Henry Huxley: A Character Sketch" by Leonard Huxley is a biographical work written in the early 20th century. The book offers an insightful character sketch rather than a comprehensive biography of Thomas Henry Huxley, focusing on his personality and the spirit in which he approached his scientific endeavors, rather than simply chronicling his life's achievements. The opening of the book introduces the intent behind this character sketch, clarifying that the author aims to portray Huxley not just as a remarkable scientist, but as a profound thinker influenced by his upbringing and experiences. It describes Huxley’s early life, detailing his childhood background in a post-Napoleonic England, characteristics inherited from his parents, and his developing intellectual curiosities which ultimately led him towards a career in medicine and science. These early experiences set the stage for understanding Huxley's complex personality, which the author promises to explore throughout the text. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
