About This Item
New York: Greenwood Press, 1968. Cloth. Near Fine. A very handsome example of this 1968 Greenwood Press re-issue of T.H. Huxley's collected essays, complete in 9 volumes. Save for a tiny former owner name and date stamped to the top-edge of each front pastedown, all 9 volumes are tight and crisp and virtually pristine. Thick, uniform octavos in their wine-red cloth, with bright, unrubbed gilt-lettering along the spines, each volume is solid and well-preserved and easily Near Fine. This collection of essays from the renowned English biologist, even in this re-issue, is uncommon as such, in its complete run.
