Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir William Huggins and Spectroscopic Astronomy
Several of the volumes of this series are devoted to the biographies of eminent men, and in such a case the personality of the man himself, and the struggles through which he had to pass furnish the chief points dwelt upon. Thus Vol. XXIII gives a sketch of the life of Thomas Huxley, and, as was inevitable with such a subject, the character of the man himself as a man among men, a born fighter and controversialist, quick, reso lute, fearless, is placed in vivid portraiture before the reader.
