Science and Education is a collection of lectures given by the renowned biologist and educator Thomas Henry Huxley in the late 19th century. In this book, Huxley argues for the importance of science education in modern society and explores the relationship between science and religion. He also discusses the role of universities in promoting scientific inquiry and the need for scientific literacy among the general public. Huxley's insights into the nature of scientific knowledge and the methods of scientific inquiry remain relevant to this day and make Science and Education a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science.To this, his highest ideal of duty, Joseph Priestley sacrificed the vulgar prizes of life, which, assuredly, were within easy reach of a man of his singular energy and varied abilities. For this object he put aside, as of secondary importance, those scientific investigations which he loved so well, and in which he showed himself so competent to enlarge the boundaries of natural knowledge and to win fame. In this cause he not only cheerfully suffered obloquy from the bigoted and the unthinking, and came within sight of martyrdom; but bore with that which is much harder to be borne than all these, the unfeigned astonishment and hardly disguised contempt of a brilliant society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
