28 DARWINIAN AND SPENCERIAN But the writer of philosophy takes this risk. There was much justification for the attitude of caution on the part of scientific men towards a method which had not helped them much in the past, and which was by many, if not by most, considered to be superfluous for the future. The effectiveness of the method, however, depends altogether upon the person who uses it. On this point I shall have more to say in the concluding part of this lecture. Of Spencer's work it may... be said that no more heroic, and I will add no more successful, attempt to wield siiigle- handed such a mighty weapon as unified science has ever been made. If Science no longer looks askance at Philo- sophy, but recognizes therein a most powerful ally, it is mainly due in modern times to the impression produced by the author of the Synthetic Philosophy. The history of the influence of his treatment of organic fevolution upon the mind of his illustrious contemporary may now fittingly be set forth in juxtaposition to his reception of Natural Selection.
