 - London  University of Chicago  1967 
 - 241p. 
<br/><br/> This book includes two important sections from Spencer's masterpiece, Principles of Sociology--one dealing with the structure and function of society, and the other with the evolution of the regulative institutions of society. The editor has provided an illuminating introduction in which he describes Spencer's early scientific interests, his ethnological studies, his relations with <br/>his contemporaries, a~d his literary output. "Spencer deliberately set out to survey all orders of phenomena," <br/>writes Carneiro, "and to show that they were the determinate results of the operation of a universal process. To this endeavor he brought an extraordinary command of scientific fact and unrivaled powers of synthesis and generalization." <br/>
