Excerpt from Herbert Spencer and His Critics
The character of this work, so far as it consists of extracts from the writings of others, will be seen from the following letter from one who is well known in the literary world, and who himself maintained a discussion with Mr. Spencer, carried on on both sides with great brilliancy and power:
38 Westbourne Terrace, London, W.,
Fernhurst, Sussex, Aug. 20, 1808.
Dear Sir: I beg to thank you for your courtesy in forwarding to me the series of papers in the boston Investigator, which I should have acknowledged much sooner but for the fact that it was sent to the publishers whilst I was away from home and about the country.
The extracts you have so carefully prepared seem to me to have been made with great accuracy and intelligence, and I think they should be satisfactory to Mr. Spencer, as they are to myself.
I am yours faithfully,
Frederic Harrison.
Interspersed with and following the extracts here referred to, the author lias made criticisms of his own, which, it is hoped, will at least bo found worthy of thoughtful consideration.
