The Factors of Organic Evolution

Abstract

MR. HERBERT SPENCER has done well to reprint in a permanent form his two articles on the “Factors of Organic Evolution,” which were published last year in the Nineteenth Century for, although they present substantially the same doctrines as are to be met with upon this subject in his “Principles of Biology” they do so in the light of fuller knowledge and more matured judgment.

The Factors of Organic Evolution.

By Herbert Spencer. (London and Edinburgh: Williams and Norgate, 1887.)
