" These Essays form a new, and if we are not mistaken, a most popular InstaTlraent 

 If the intellectual benefactions of that earnest »Titer and profound philosopher, Her- 

 bert Spencer. There is a reinarkalile anion of the speculative and practical tn theM 

 papers. They are the fhiit of studies alike economical and psychological; they touch 

 the problems of the passing hour, an<l they grasp truths of universal application ; they 

 will be founa as instructive to the general reader as interesting to political and social 

 students." — Bonton Traivcript. 



•'These Essays exhibit on a. most every i)age the powers of an independent hum&n- 

 iUuian thinker. Mr. Spencer's ethics are rigid, his political views liberalistic, and hu 

 aim is the production ol the highest earthly good." — Methodist Quarterly Review. 



" It abounds iii the results of the sharp observation, the wide reach of kf^vledga, 

 and the capacity to write clearly, forcibly, and pointedly, for which this writei \» pre- 

 eminent. The subjects are all suchiat concern us most intimately, and they are treated 

 with admirable tact and knowledge. The drat essay on the Philosophy of Style it 

 worth the cost of the volume; it would be a deed of charity to print It by itself and 

 •end it to the editor of every newspaper In the land." — New Engiander.

 tutions and of tbeir fundamental principles; his elucidation of those foundation truth* 

 which control the policy of government, are of peculiar value to the American stu- 

 dent"— J?o«ton Pogt.
