The achievements of the polymath Sir John Lubbock (1834-1913)
spanned banking, politics, science and philanthropy. First
published in 1914, this two-volume biography by Horace G.
Hutchinson (1859-1932) traces Lubbock's extraordinary life and
career. Hutchinson, who knew his subject in later years, paints a
highly favourable portrait of Lubbock's varied accomplishments.
Notably, Lubbock became a partner of his father's bank at
twenty-two, a Member of Parliament in 1870, and in 1900 received
the title of Baron Avebury. Tutored in natural history by Charles
Darwin in his youth, he remained fascinated by evolutionary theory:
it influenced his archaeological and anthropological work,
including Pre-Historic Times as Illustrated by Ancient Remains
(1865) and The Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition
of Man (1870), both reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.
Volume 1 covers Lubbock's early childhood and private education,
his introduction to banking, and Darwin's influence on his passion
for science.
