Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. 1 of 3: By His Son Leonard Huxley My thanks are due to a number of friends for pointing out to me various misprints and other errors or omissions which had passed unnoticed in the first edition. Professor Howes in particular has furnished the titles of several scientific memoirs, the identification of which is due to his careful research in the journals of the learned societies. Of the fresh material which has come into my hands recently, I have printed two or three letters. In one or two passages, also, I have altered the wording slightly in deference to Mr. Herbert Spencer, who thought that despite the definite statement quoted from a letter of his on ii. 442, the public would receive the impression that my father's reading of his proofs had extended to all his works.

Book Description
The self has a history. In the West, the idea of the soul entered Christianity with the Church Fathers, notably Augustine. During the Renaissance the idea of the individual attained preeminence, as in the works of Montaigne. In the seventeenth century, philosophers such as Descartes formulated notions of selfhood that did not require a divine foundation; in the next century, Hume grew skeptical of the self's very existence. Ideas of the self have changed markedly since the Romantic period and most scholars today regard it as at best a mental construct. First-person genres such as diaries and memoirs have provided an outlet for self-expression. Protestant diaries replaced the Catholic confessional, but secular diaries such as Pepys's may reveal yet more about the self. After Richardson, novels competed with diaries and memoirs as vehicles of self-expression, though memoirs survived and continue to thrive, while the diary has found a new incarnation in the personal blog. Writing the Self narrates the intertwined histories of the self and of self-expression through first-person literature.
