| Summary | "Aphorisms and Reflections from the works of T. H. Huxley" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a collection of philosophical and scientific observations written in the early 20th century. This compilation, selected by Henrietta A. Huxley, draws from Huxley’s extensive body of work, providing insights into various topics including science, morality, and society. The collection serves as an accessible introduction to Huxley’s thoughts, particularly aimed at individuals who may seek wisdom but not wish to engage with his more exhaustive writings. The opening portion of the work presents a preface by Henrietta A. Huxley, who outlines her intention to gather diverse passages from T. H. Huxley's writings for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with his contributions. She expresses a desire to capture the essence of his ideas on key subjects, such as the importance of truth, the role of science in shaping moral conduct, and the fundamental principles guiding human existence. Through this collection, Henrietta aims to preserve her husband's legacy while inspiring an appreciation for scientific thought and the beauty of nature among a broader audience.
