SIR JULIAN HUXLEY'S THOUGHTS ON THE RESPONSE OF DEMOCRACIES TO THE THREATS OF WAR IN THIS CASE, BRITAIN AND WWII--SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.

Slim hardcover 7 1/2 inches tall, blue cloth binding, inscribed front free endpaper, "Mary Welsh/ from Julian Huxley/ Aug 1941," 126 pp. Light browning to cover edges, very good in custom archival mylar cover. CONTENTS: I. THE UNIFYING EFFECT OF WAR; II. THE .BRITISH BRAND OF DEMOCRACY; III. THE BRITISH SOCIAL SERVICES; IV., SOCIAL SERVICE AND DEMOCRACY; V. SOCIAL STANDARDS; VI. HEALTH IN A DEMOCRATIC BRITAIN; VII. THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF EDUCATION; VIII. PLANNING AND DEMOCRACY; THE DEVELOPMENT OF BACKWARD AREAS; X. DEMOCRACY BETWEEN NATIONS; XI, DISINTEGRATION AND REINTEGRATION; XII. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. FROM THE FOREWORD: "Dr. Huxley marshals before us the very considerable contributions to the progress of civilization which democracy has recently made and is now making in this country. The array is both formidable and inspiring* The instances given spread over the whole field of human endeavour and are of a kind and extent to go far towards correcting our national tendency to self-depreciation."

SIR JULIAN HUXLEY (1887 – 1975) was a British evolutionary biologist, eugenicist, and internationalist. He was the first Director of UNESCO, a founding member of the World Wildlife Fund and the first President of the British Humanist Association. In 1941 (the year Democracy Marches was published) Huxley was invited to the United States on a lecturing tour, and generated some controversy by saying that he thought the United States should join World War II: a few weeks later came the attack on Pearl Harbor.
