Show Herbert Spencer's Work nriod. At the age of R2 the vener.ible Herbert Her-bert Spencer has at last laid side the pen that has exercised such i powerful power-ful Influence upon the thought of his century. In his forthcoming volume, "Facts and Comments," Mr. Spencer announces that he has written his last book. His work of creating a synthetic syn-thetic philosophy based on the theory of organic evolution was begun in 18fi0 and finished in ISIKl. and now the last chips from his workshop are gathered up. Though he is everywhere acknowledged ac-knowledged to be one of the greatest figures of his time he wears no fancy titles to his name and has steadfastly refused even to accept honorary degrees de-grees from colleges. |
