Huxley Beard Fable and Beards Decline in Lively Talk
An anecdote from the Literary and Philosophical society in Newcastle features Professor Huxley struggling with diagram scissors while Alexander the porter quips that the blades will cut.

The piece then notes French and Spanish beard fashions, recounting how shaving spread from Henry IV to courtiers and finally to the people, with the proverb since we have lost our beards we have lost our souls.
