From the person who originated the concept of agnosticism, and was the main proponent of Darwinism in 19th century Britain: July 6, 1878 [To John Morley] My dear Morley–Very many thanks for Diderot. I have made a plung into the first volume and found it very interesting. I wish you had put a portrait of him as a frontispiece. I have seen one–a wonderful face, something like Goethe's. I am picking at Hume at odd times. It seems to me that I had better make an analysis and criticism of the "Inquiry," the backbone of the essay–as it touches all the problems which interest us most just now. I have already sketched out a chapter on Miracles, which will, I hope, be very edifying in consequence of its entire agreement with the orthodox arguments against Hume's a priori reasonings against miracles. Hume wasn't half a sceptic after all. And so long as he got deep enough to worry Orthodoxy, he did not care to go to the bottom of things. He failed to see the importance of suggestions already made both by Locke and Berkeley.–Ever yours very faithfully, T. H. Huxley. aleph0.clarku.edu
