Huxley, "Darwin's bulldog," was the leading defender and promoter of Darwinism in the years following the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859.In this popular work Huxley attempts to "disencumber the subject of its difficulties, simplify its statements, relieve it of technicalities, and bring it so distinctly within the horizon of ordinary apprehension that persons of common sense may judge for themselves. … Such is the character of the present volume" (preface).
This volume reflects the wide dissemination of Darwin's ideas in the 1860s.
