Herbert Spencer letter to Dear sirs, 1892 May 12.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71225932

Spencer writes to Dear sirs, 12 May 1892, in which he expresses surprise that the unnamed publishers claim his father's book, Inventional Geometry, is their property; he goes on to recount the publication history of the work, and asks them to explain their claim. Inventional Geometry was republished in 1892 by William & Norgate, London, who may be the recipients of the letter.
