HERBERT SPENCER AT SEVENTY-NINE. 547 



To tlie many who, like us, have learned to honor the man while 

 profiting by his writings, it would be a satisfaction to possess an au- 

 thentic personal likeness of the author. It has therefore occurred to 

 us that the occasion might be appropriately marked by requesting you 

 to permit us to employ some eminent artist to take your portrait, with 

 a view to its being deposited in one of our national collections for the 

 benefit of ourselves and of those who come after us. 



We hope that your health may be benefited by the leisure which 

 you have earned so well, and that you may long continue to enjoy the 

 consciousness of having completed your work.
