Articles
This section includes many – but not all – of Spencer’s more important contributions
to periodical lit. Most are rptd in his Essays: scientific etc. Five
kinds of articles are excluded from the following list: (1) articles representing
instalments (serialisation) of books and pts of books; (2) articles representing
chs or selective excerpts of forthcoming books; (3) articles that were collected
and rev to form books; (4) articles that later appeared – rev, enlarged, or sometimes
unchanged – as separate books or pams; and (5) articles that are primarily
replies to book reviews and other pbd criticism. Information about articles
falling into the first four categories is given in the appropriate book entries,
above; a few of the many articles replying to book reviews and other pbd criticism
are noted along with the book reviews, above, and in §2, below. See Perrin,
above, for full details on all Spencer’s major and minor pbns (including rejoinders)
in periodicals and newspapers.
