Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Autobiography, Vol. 1 This Autobiography is published as it was left by Mr. Spencer, with a few modifications, the most important of which relates to the division of the volumes. It was Mr. Spencer´s original intention that the first volume should end with Chapter XXIII. His reason was thus stated in a letter to his American publishers: "The first volume ends my engineering and miscellaneous life, and the second volume begins my literary life." This, he said, was a "natural division." But, in order to obviate the very great inequality in thickness that would have thus existed between the two volumes, we, his Trustees, in the exercise of our discretion, have ventured to adopt another "natural division," making the first volume end with the termination of his miscellaneous work and the second volume begin with the planning of the Synthetic Philosophy. The illustrations for Part I having been of somewhat inferior execution, improved blocks have been prepared, from which the portraits have been printed. A sentence on page 104 of the first volume, referring to a photograph of Hinton Parsonage, taken from a drawing made by Mr. Spencer when a boy, has been omitted because the photograph could not be found. Some renumbering of Parts and Chapters, re-pagination, and a few necessary verbal corrections are the only other changes that have been made.
