English biologist (1825-1895) known as ‘Darwin's Bulldog’ for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. ALS signed “T. H. Huxley,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, personal letterhead, March 31, 1887. Letter to author and editor Edward Bok a few weeks after Henry Ward Beecher's death. In part: "I know nothing of the late Revd. H. W. Beecher or his works—beyond the general rumour…as a popular preacher. It is therefore impossible that I should furnish you with my opinion respecting Mr. Beecher's character or public service." Some light toning and missing lower right corner tip, otherwise fine condition.
