"definitely deaccession Thomas Huxley was an English biologist, known as ""Darwin's Bulldog"" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Huxley's famous debate in 1860 with Samuel Wilberforce was a key moment in the wider acceptance of evolution. The paragraph reads: Born in 1825, was like Darwin, first made known through his natural history researches [ ]aring a four years' cruise as assistant surgeon on a ship in the English navy. He early [ ]ame distinguished for his original contributions to biological science, but his fame chiefly rests on his unswerving devotion to the work of extending the domain and the influence of natural knowledge. As he tells up in the admirable and all too brief autobiography which opens the first volume of his collected essays, the popularization of science and the development and organization of scientific education were among the chief purposes of his life. The most striking features of his voluminous writings are a lucid and forcible style, and a spirit which breathes through every page of unyielding fidelity to truth. Though as a controversialist professor: Huxley was oftentimes severe, he was always courteous, and in private life was one of the most amiable of men. He died January 29, 1895.". https://rosenberg.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/5C7F7D52-A039-4B17-A510-334695418412 See Museum Object Listing RV8
