Description
Excerpt from The Life of Richard Owen
His general character stands out clearly, I venture to think, from the material which has been utilised and, although from our relative ages it is impossible that I could have a personal knowledge of his private life until his later years, I can but repeat the unfailing testimony of his friends in regard to his Charm of manner, his genial courtesy, and his kindness of heart. All this and a great deal more I have seen for myself.
I gladly take this opportunity of expressing my sincere gratitude to the Right Hon. T. H. Huxley for the kind and generous contribution he has made to this book, showing Professor Owen''s position in the history of anatomical science.
