An American friend of Spencer who has read the book, says: “It is as 
broad and many-sided as human experience, and the marvel and charm of it is 
its simple, straightforward and obvious truthfulness. It seems to me to exceed 
any of his former works in interest and practical value; and I have been a con- 
Stant reader of his writings from their first publication in this country. Mr. 
Spencer’s supreme loyalty to truth and his native frankness have made his 
account of his life very open and unreserved. Lest he might err in this direc- 
tion he got the advice of confidential friends. After reading it and approving 
it entirely, Huxley remarked that it reminded him of the ‘Confessions’ of 
Rousseau, without any of the objectionable features of that work.”
