This philosophical system differs from all its predecessors in being solidly based on the sciences of observation and induction; in representing the order and course of Nature; in bringing Nature and man, life, mind, and society, under one great law of action; and in developing a method of thought which may serve for practical guidance in dealing with the affairs of life.

"The only complete and systematic statement of the doctrine of evolution with which I am acquainted is that contained in Mr. Herbert Spencer's 'System of Philosophy,' a work which should be carefully studied by all who desire to know whither scientific thought is tending." -T. H. HUXLEY.

"Mr. Spencer is one of the most vigorous as well as boldest thinker] that English speculation has yet produced."--John Stuart MILL.
