Chris Elliot (Philosophy, Hofstra) has made me aware that Project Gutenberg has doubled its coverage of works by Thomas Henry Huxley. Some light reading on this weekend for those not watching the NFL. The additions are:

  • Conditions of Existence as Affecting the Perpetuation of Living Beings 
  • Coral and Coral Reefs 
  • Criticism on "The origin of species" 
  • Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature 
  • Geological Contemporaneity and Persistent Types of Life 
  • Method By Which the Causes of the Present and Past Conditions of Organic Nature Are to Be Discovered -- the Origination of Living Beings
  • On Some Fossil Remains of Man 
  • On the Advisableness of Improving Natural Knowledge 
  • On the Origin of Species: or, the Causes of the Phenomena of Organic Nature 
  • On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals 
  • On the Study of Zoology 
  • Origin of Species 
  • The Past Condition of Organic Nature 
  • The Perpetuation of Living Beings; hereditary transmission and variation 
  • The Present Condition of Organic Nature 
  • William Harvey and the Circulation of the Blood 
  • Yeast 

Gutenberg has additional Huxley works available. The "goto" site for Huxley is still The Huxley File, but the Gutenberg additions are to be welcomed.
