A considerable portion of what immediately follows is quoted or adapted from a letter of mine in the New York Nation for April 21, 1910.
“Religion and the Mores,” pp. 129–146 of this volume.
There is, in the Popular Science Monthly for June, 1889 (pp. 261–268). a Sketch of William Graham Sumner , which is largely autobiographical and which deserves re-publication. It touches upon several of the points noticed in this Introduction.
Says “the distinguished American economist,” quoted in the Sketch previously referred to: “... the results of his experience in the discussion of the relative merits and advantages of the systems of free trade and protection have been such that probably no defender of the latter would now be willing to meet him in a public discussion of these topics.”
“I formed a class,” he says, “to read Spencer's book in the parts as they came out, and believe that I began to interest men in this important department of study, and to prepare them to follow its development, years before any such attempt was made at any other university in the world,” Sketch , p. 266.

It has been objected that no proof is offered that social laws exist in the order of nature. By what demonstration could any such proof be given a priori? If a man of scientific training finds his attention arrested, in some group of phenomena, by these sequences, relations, and recurrences which he has learned to note as signs of action of law, he seeks to discover the law. If it exists, he finds it. What other proof of its existeaces could there be?
