Excerpt from Critiques and AddressesIf the popular lecture thus, as I believe, finds one moiety of its justification in the self-discipline of the lecturer, it surely finds the other half in its effect on the auditory. For though various sadly comical experiences of the results of my own efforts have led me to entertain a very moderate estimate of the purely intellectual value of lectures; though I venture to doubt if more than one in ten of an average audience carries away an accurate notion of what the speaker has been driving at; yet is that not equally true of the oratory of the hustings, of the House of Commons, and even of the pulpit?Yet the children of this world are wise in their generation; and both the politician and the priest are justified by results. The living voice has an influence over human action altogether independent of the intellectual worth of that which it utters. Many years ago, I was a guest at a great City dinner. A famous orator, endowed with a voice of rare flexibility and power; a born actor, ranging with ease through every part, from refined comedy to tragic unction, was called upon to reply to a toast.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good, but not what I was expecting By Robert Jordan As a biologist, all I had really heard of Huxley was that he was considered "Darwin's Bulldog" because he was such a strong proponent of evolutionary theory. There appear to be a number of books by Huxley available on Amazon and I figured this one would be a good place to start.Overall, there were definitely some sections that I enjoyed readings and captured my interest. These were mainly the sections on scientific topics, for example his chapters on yeast and the formation of coal. I also found his discussion on the education of doctors interesting. However, there were other chapters that dealt with the educational system in England and the metaphysics of sensation that were a chore to get through. The long section on ethnology started out interesting but delved much further into the topic than my interest in the subject.Overall, I would recommend the chapters on scientific subjects and the essay on medical education. And I do not recommend the other chapters and the discussion on ethnology. My review and recommendation may be a bit biased due to my own scientific bent, so I suggest you take my opinion with a grain of salt.
