...further evident if we examine Mr. Herbert Spencer's famous formula of evolution. ' Evolution,' he says, ' is an integration of matter and concomitant dissipation...retained motion under,goes a parallel transformation.' (' First Principles,' § 145.) This is probably the most abstract, comprehensive, and accurate statement...

...the great sentence there quoted as summing up Mr. Herbert Spencer's theory of evolution:—"Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant dissipation...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." Homer's poor little saying comes not in such formidable shape. It is only this : —Wide is the range...

...This law is finally couched in the well-known formula: "Evolution is an integration of matter and a concomitant dissipation of motion, during which the...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." The law, as finally stated, is thus an extension of Von Baer's law, and a reduction of the same to...

...question, we may give the definition in his words as follows : — Evolution is an integration of matter, during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity, to a definite, coherent heterogeneity. Thus the growth of the plant into its completed organic form is the...

...within the generalisations of evolution. For considering its individuals as atoms, the growth of society is "an integration of matter and concomitant dissipation...heterogeneity, and during which the retained motion undergoes ii parallel transformation."* And thus an analogy may be drawn between the life of a society and the...
