MAGIC SPENCER

Descendiente de una familia de pc
dagogos, puesto que su padre, sus hijos
" su abuelo ejercieron Ell magisterio,
naci6 Spencer en- Derby a 81 de abril
de mil ochocientos veinte. Como su pa
DIRE era secretario de la Sociedad Flo
s6fca de Derby, el futuro sabio tenia
a su disposition la nutrida biblioteca
de dicha corporation, ademas del gran
numero de revistas cientifcas que, ha-
bia en- el salon de lectura. ALI pasaba
largas horas entregado con afan a los
libros, Y de ALI, sin mas guia que 81
priviIegiado talento, sac6 copioso eau
dal de conocimientos en- todos los ra-
mos del saber humane, y 10 que es mas
caracteristico, el habito de discutir con
su padre y su hermano los puntos mas
graves de politica, moral y hlosofia.
En- mil ochocientos sesenta y dos
public6 los Primeros Principles, los
que siguieron los Principles de Biolo-
gia, PsicoloSia, Sociologia y Etica. La
mayor parte de las obras de Spencer
han sido traducidas todos los idio
mas cultos.

mejores trabajos:
