"The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century" (1887) is a review by Thomas Henry Huxley.

Excerpt: "I am conscious that in undertaking to give even the briefest sketch of the progress of physical science, in all its branches, during the last half-century, I may be thought to have exhibited more courage than discretion, and perhaps more presumption than either. So far as physical science is concerned, the days of Admirable Crichtons have long been over, and the most indefatigable of hard workers may think he has done well if he has mastered one of its minor subdivisions.

Nevertheless, it is possible for anyone, who has familiarized himself with the operations of science in one department, to comprehend the significance, and even to form a general estimate of the value, of the achievements of specialists in other departments."©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature Philosophy Mathematics
