OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Mr. Spencer, in his able and logical work on “ Social Statics”... . Edin» 
burgh Review. 
It deserves very high praiso for the ability, clearness, and force with which 
it is written, and which entitle it to the character, now so rare, of a really sub- 
stantial book— North British Review. 
A remarkable work. . . . . Mr. Spencer exhibits, and exhibits with re- 
markable force and clearness, many social equalizations of a just and right 
species which remain yet to be effected. British Quarterly Review. 
An inquiry conducted throughout with clearness, good temper, and strict 
logic. . . . . We shall be mistaken if this book do not assist in organising that 
huge mass of thought which, for want of a more specific name, is now called 
Liberal Opinion. — Atheneum. 
It is the most eloquent, the most interesting, the most clearly-expressed and 
logically-reasoned work, with views the most original, that has appeared in the 
science of social polity.—Literary Gazette. 
The author of the present work is no ordinary thinker, and no ordinary wrl- 
ter; and he gives us, in language that sparkles with beauties, and in reasoning 
at once novel and elaborate, precise and logical, a very comprehensive and 
-complete exposition of the rights of men in society. . . . . The book will 
mark an epoch in the literature of scientific morality.—Zconomist. 
‘We remember no work on ethics since that of Spinoza to be compared with 
itin the simplicity of its premises, and the logical rigour with which a com- 
plete system of scientific ethics is evolved from them. . . . . A work at once 
80 scientific in spirit and method, and so popular in execution, we shall look in 
vain for through libraries of political philosophy.—Leader. a 
The careful reading we have given it has both afforded us intense pleasure, 
and rendered it a duty to express, with unusual emphasis, our opinion of ita 
great ability and excellence.—Nonconsormist,
