Aphorisms and Reflections

To quote one of these aphorisms, “Time, whose tooth gnaws away everything else, is powerless against truth.” There is garnered in Huxley's works so much truth worth wide dissemination that we echo heartily Mrs. Huxley's wish that this book will attract the attention of many persons who are yet unacquainted with her husband's writings. We trust also that this attractive volume, which can be carried in the pocket, will serve to make men of science and students turn oftener to the complete works of this master of lucid expression, who proved conclusively by his essays that it is possible to describe scientific achievements in a manner which will appeal to earnest readers of all classes.Aphorisms and Reflections.From the works of T.
