Those who have read the work on Education, will remember tlie an*. 

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

 position of :irst principles — his wide grasp of facts — his lucid and viporoua 

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

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

 an eminent degree, the present volume. — N. Y. T^iburu. 



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

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

 literary as well as philosophic triumph. In the evolution of a system of 

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

 tellect to fathom and Hi)prcciate, he has mingled much that is really populAi 

 %nd entertaimng. — RocJicslcr DanocraL
