Opposed Decimal System.

Among the most determined opponents of the decimal system was, of coarse, Herbert Spencer. Some of his hhjsc eloquent pamphlets were written againsti,t. So determined, indeed, was he that nothing he could do to prevent its introduction should be left undone, that he made a permanent provision for renewing the opposition whenever it might be necessary. He left instructions that his famous pamphlets should be at once reprinted, whenever there was any serious possibility of the authorities being so far “led astray” as to contemplate the adoption of the system. His executors are, no doubt, taking note of the present renewed agitation.
