M. Foster, H. N. Martin
Of course I have my growlingest of archangels, why should I expatriate myself to the howling wildnesses around Arthur’s Seat otherwise? But beside the mercenary motives, without which as Père de familia I do nothing – I am really glad to be of use to the University which has been civil to me and by no means sorry to have the opportunity of indoctrinating two or three hundred students with orthodox views & methods. It is very good of you to undertake the work of Examinations which I know you hate as heartily as I do – and exceedingly jolly to think of you taking up your quarters with the “frau-widow” – It’s a shame I shan’t be at home. Of course I understood the post card. Ever yours faithfully T. H. Huxley

Highcroft House, Milford Godalming Surrey
Dearly beloved Good for the histology – I am sending the proof of Cartilage Connective tissue & bone to Clay 1 with directions to send slips on to you – & you can cut them about as you please. Most of our examiners have not a notion of what histology means at present – & I think it will be good for other folks to get it into their heads that it is not all sections & carmine. It makes more in bulk than I could have wished – but I have not said more than is need-ful for clearness so far as I know. I took a good deal of pains to get clear about these matters two or three years ago & it's a pity the result should be lost. I think some valuable illustrations might be got out of the German edition of Ranvier – It is unluckily incomplete & I can't make out that there is or ever was a French edition – there is nothing at all good elsewhere. 2 Muscle & nerve are pretty nearly done & will go to Clay early next week.

Huxley Papers
My dear Foster I sympathise this very strongly with Brady (whose letter I return herewith) and if he will go to Styria and stand over v. L with a big stick while he makes the requisite corrections – I am ready to subscribe 5/-toward the cost of the stick. Otherwise it is the old story of taking the horse to the water and being able to make him drink. Practically, I see nothing for it but to put an official note such as you suggest. What a hideous amount of trouble the man has given! He wrote to me the other day that he was going to ask for another grant & asked for support. I answered diplomatically. I like your notion of our climate – we had yesterday a North Easter that I positively dare not face & today the whole county is covered with snow. The only satisfaction is that from all accounts the weather is worse elsewhere. If I could get rid of the oppression that will come on now & then in the left half of my thorax I should be alright. Expect I shall have to get high air before it will go. Ever yours T. H. H. Dear Huxley Please read Welby's letter, & my reply, & tell me if you think it will do – ie make comments on it and send it on to Hooker asking him to do the same & send it to me as soon as possible. Evans has seen it. – and Ever thine M. Foster Thanks for letter re v. L.

My dear Foster You are very welcome to the illustrations so far as I am concerned. Cambridge could not have been beastlier than Eastbourne for the last fortnight but I have been fairly well since I got over the effects of the Premier's dinner. 1 What ever the papers may say I am not at H.M.'s command. I had meant to attend the soirée on Wednesday by way of paying my respects to the Society but my doctor has bullied me out of it. Please make my excuses to the President. I would look at Gadow's paper but really I do not know what has been doing in the last seven years. However if you are really hard up for a referee, send it me. Ever yours T. H.

My dear Foster I am none the worse for the ice-cellar & shall be to the fore at the D Committee tomorrow. I will read the Report & sign it if need be – though there really must be some fresh arrangement. Of course I have entire confidence in your judgement about the examination, but I have a mortal horror of putting my name to things I do not know of my own knowledge. Did you read the three Bishops’ sermons at Manchester? They were what the Deutsches call “Epoche Machend”. I have an article about them & incidentally [smashing] [that] d—–d little amateur the [three illegible words] in the coming XIX century which may entertain you. Ever yours T. H. Huxley

Researchers from a wide array of disciplines have investigated ancient “plagues”, from fields as diverse as microbiology, ancient history, epidemiology, zoology, palaeopathology and archaeology, both independently from each other or in collaborative multidisciplinary teams. This paper aims to discuss the role of archaeology within such investigations and, perhaps more significantly, to highlight some of the limitations of the archaeological data on which many such studies are based. Non-archaeologists may not fully appreciate these limitations, as archaeology invariably operates under the constraints of an incomplete, biased, poorly preserved and often problematic sample. Only once these limitations are taken into account can the archaeological record be used to its “full” potential. Applying scientific methods to, and developing elaborate theories from, archaeological material without taking such shortcomings into account can seriously affect academic validity. Nonetheless, archaeology has a role to play in the study of ancient “plagues”. Archaeological methods from a wide range of sub-disciplines can offer additional or alternative avenues of research that may help us identify and understand the diseases behind ancient “plagues”. The Black Death burial site at East Smithfield, London, will provide a background to the discussion.1
