SPENCER'S SYNTHETIC PHILOSOPHY, 12mo, cloth, $2.00 per volume.
_NEW 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 consequence. While
experience has not caused him to recede from the general
principles set forth, he has made some important changes in
the substance and form. His amendments of matter and manner
are now final.
