Robert L. Carneiro, who has judiciously edited these selections from Spencer's major sociological work and contributed a balanced fifty-page introduction, succeeds admirably in conveying a picture of Spencer the bold social scientist, from whom the contemporary timid breed might gain in spirit, if not in substance
