First sentence: ONE of the greatest of modern philosophers-the founder of that system of scientific philosophy which traces the processes of evolution in every department, whether physical or intellectual-has devoted a chapter of his "First Principles" of the new system to the consideration of the multiplication of the effects of the various forces, social and other, which are continually modifying this wonderful and mysterious universe of which we form a part.
