Abstract
THIS work contains much valuable suggestion, many admirable sentiments, and a selection of choice extracts from the best writers on social philosophy; but it is hardly what one would expect from its title. The idea of evolution is, no doubt, more or less present to the author throughout his work, and some of its main characteristics are referred to and illustrated by the phenomena of industrial progress; but there is a want of system and of logical connection in the treatment of the subject, and an entire absence of the unity of design, forcible reasoning, and original theory which were such prominent features in Mr. Kidd's work.
The Evolution of Industry.
By Henry Dyer, &c. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1895.)
