The Epitome of the Synthetic Philosophy
1895. The object of this volume is to give in a condensed form the general principles of Mr. Herbert Spencer's philosophy as far as possible in his original words. These abstracts of chapters and sections, divested as they are of all illustrative matters, do not suffice to give vivid and definite conceptions; but the undeveloped conceptions they give prepare the way for those developed ones to be obtained by perusal of the chapters and sections themselves.
