 JVBfV EDITION OF 



First Principles. 



By Herbert Spencer. New and revised (sixth) edition of the 

 first volume of the author's Synthetic Philosophy. 



This fundamental and most important work has been changed in 

 substance and in form to a considerable extent, and largely rewritten 

 and wholly reset. It is now forty years since the author began the 

 " First Principles," and its presentation in this definitive form, with 

 the author's last revisions, is an event of peculiar interest and conse- 

 quence. While experience has not caused him to recede from the gen- 

 eral principles set forth, he has made some important changes in the sub- 

 stance and form. His amendments of matter and manner are now final.
