Excerpt from Law in a Free State Twenty years ago I took a census of the indi vidualists in this country, and I found that they could all be seated comfortably in a Bayswater 'bus. Twelve years ago I took another, and I found that their number had increased to about three hundred. This increase I attributed mainly to the teachings of Mr. Herbert Spencer. At the present time the in dividualists of England may be counted by thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands. I attribute this further increase partly to the same cause, partly to the efforts of the Personal Rights Defence Associa tion and the Liberty and Property Defence League, and partly to the visible evil effects of the practical State socialism of the Legislature.
