NOTICE.

The original English edition of SOCIAL STATICS has been some time out of print. As there has since continued to be a small demand for the work, but a demand not great enough to repay the cost of printing @ second English edition, the Author has thought it best to meet the requirement by importing a supply of the American reprint. This is not, therefore, a new edition in the proper sense of the term. It differs from the original English edition only in its size, the headings to its pages, and in having an index. The

* Preface to the American Edition” should be read; as it contains certain disclaimers which equally apply to this English re-issue.

January, 1868.
