H. Spencer 1s series of Essays p. 400 on Tears & Laughter strikes me as very inferior in value — perhaps add to foot-note reference. — when I refer to Psychology & very important paper in 2d series of collected Essays

[Expression, p. 9, n. 10 "'Essays, Scientific, Political, and Speculative,' Second Series, 1863, p. 111. There is a discussion on Laughter in the First Series of Essays, which discussion seems to me of very inferior value."]
