  Thomas Spencer Baynes - LoveToKnow 1911
THOMAS SPENCER BAYNES (1823-1887), English editor and man of letters, the son of a Baptist minister, was born at Wellington, Somerset, on the 24th of March 1823.
He studied at Edinburgh University, where he was a pupil of Sir William Hamilton, whose assistant he became and of whose views on logic he became the authorized exponent.
Baynes, however, continued to be engaged upon the work until his death on the 31st May 1887, shortly before its completion.

 §5. Sir William Hamilton. I. Philosophers. Vol. 14. The Victorian Age, Part Two. The Cambridge History of English ...
The doctrines of Locke, Berkeley and Hume, together with the ideas of the deistical movement, had entered into the European tradition; but the reaction which they produced, and which began with Kant, was for long ignored in England.
Coleridge, indeed, was a much more important medium; he brought into English literature ideas which had been derived from Kant and his successors, and he was recognised by John Stuart Mill as representing a type of thought, antagonistic to the dominant Benthamism, which had to be reckoned with.
The clearest accounts of his views have to be sought in An Essay on the New Analytic of Logical Forms (1850), by his pupil, Thomas Spencer Baynes, and in An Outline of the Laws of Thought (the first edition of which was published in 1842), by William Thomson, afterwards archbishop of York.

 11: "The Smell of the Fire"
Born in 1823, Baynes came of a Nonconformist background, soon abandoned his early intention to enter the Baptist ministry and, after a period at London University, took his degree at Edinburgh University, where he is said to have been a favourite pupil of Sir William Hamilton, the most eminent Scottish philosopher of the day.
Baynes’ words breathe all the rather intoxicating and hubristic optimism of the High Victorian era, yet also bear witness to the intense interest of the day in comparative philology and ethnography.
Baynes has taken the only safe method of securing articles that shall embody the fullest, and highest, and most accurate knowledge; viz., by obtaining the services of those who have proved themselves to be at the summit in their particular departments.

The plan, as set out in Baynes’ Prefatory Note to the first volume (published in 1875), was to provide an authoritative view of current knowledge by securing contributions from ‘the more independent and productive minds who were engaged in advancing their own departments of scientific enquiry’.
Baynes had in fact written an apology to RLS by then, explaining that he had been ill when the decision had been made to reject the article.
Baynes, in effect, gave a curate’s egg judgment: it was very good in parts and could be accepted perhaps with some amendment; but he felt the article lacked ‘enthusiasm’ and placed too much emphasis on Burns’ weaknesses.

On the other hand, it is possible to recognize purely sensory and affective criteria, such as sensations of resistance (Spencer), 'vividness' of memory (Taine, Rabier), as coefficients of external reality; or only cognitive criteria, such as 'inherent consistency and non-contradiction,' 'contradictory representation,' 'inhibition among ideas,' 'irresistible or indissoluble association,' as coefficients of truth.
Spencer's phrase, 'survival of the fittest,' itself analyses natural selection.
