Bagehot's Physics and Politics
April 3, 1873 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Physics and Politics; or, Thoughts on the Application of the Principles of Natural Selection and Inheritance to Political Society," by Walter Bagehot. Bagehot is an ingenious author. Many writers on society or politics far surpass him in extent of information. Bagehot's literary skill, versatility, and veracity may conceal from the mass of readers his great intellectual merits as a political or historical theorist. This peril is specially great with regard to his last work. It would seem to be in a sense a fragment. It is certainly disconnected in form, and the most appreciative critics must confess that it is marred occasionally by a disconnection of thought.
