These Esstys constitute a body of massive and original thought upon a 

 large variety of important topics, and will be read with pleasure by all who 

 appreciate a bold and powerful treatment of ftmdamental themes. The 

 gi.'neral thought which pervades this book is beyond doubt the most iuipor 

 tant that the human mind has yet reached. — N. Y. Independent. 



Those who have read the work on Education, will remember the ana- 

 lytic tendency of the author's mind — his clear perception and admirable ex- 

 position of lirst principles — his wide gra.=p of facts — his lucid and vigorous 

 ityle, and the constant and controlling bearing of the discussion on practical 

 results. These traits characterize all Mr. Spencer's writings, and mark, m 

 an eminent degree, the present volume. — N. Y. IVibune. 



We regard the distinguishing feature of this work to be the peculiarly 

 Interesting character of its matter to the general reader. This is a groat 

 literary aa well as pliiIo.«oi)hic triumph. In the evolution of a system of 

 Philosophy which demands serious attention, and a keen exercise of the in- 

 tellect to fathom and appreciate, he has mingled much that is really populof 

 uid entertaioing. — KocJuxlcr DemocraL
