The biology of daily life (1890)

Book Description

"To clear the way for the understanding of the line of argument adopted in this little book, I commence with a quotation from Herbert Spencer's Synthetic Philosophy, on the scope of Biology. I do this for two reasons : 1. To present the reader with the fullest and clearest explanation obtainable, of the meaning of the words "Biology" and "Biological." 2. To show what are those principles or conclusions of this science, which Herbert Spencer takes as fundamental or axiomatic, in constructing his system. (Preface)
