Doran Out. He has never learned to drive a car. Nor can he use a fountain pen. But he published Aldous Huxley as willingly as he published James Moffatt's translation of the Bible. And in such versatility lay George Henry Doran's prowess as a publisher. His career's milestones have not been many. He was born in Toronto in 1869, began selling books when he was 15. In 1908 he left Fleming H. Revell Co., Manhattan religious publishers, of which he had become a vice president, to form his own house. In 1928 he merged with Doubleday, Page...
Norman Douglas, Aldous Huxley and many other famed Englishmen prefer living in Italy to living in England for climatic, artistic, economic, gastronomic and other reasons.

He accuses Swift of the modern sin against the Holy Ghost, sentimentality: "If Swift were alive today, he would be the adored, the baroneted, the Order-of-Merited author, not of Gulliver, not of The Tale of a Tub, not of the Directions to Servants, but of A Kiss for Cinderella and Peter Pan." Author Huxley is cold, caustic, reasonable...
Darwinism, says Julian Huxley, is not dead, as "irresponsible persons" think. Evolution-evidence "by now is overwhelming. Although we are very far from under-standing [how] . . . hens do develop from eggs. . . . The idea of Evolution is as important a biological tool as ... the microscope...
