Gwilym asked:

Herbert Spencer, the now deeply unfashionable Victorian philosopher and social commentator, once
wrote of the "seven great prejudices". I am trying to locate where he said this and what he thought
they were. I have tried all the standard quotation books and the Internet. Any ideas?

============

I haven't heard of "seven great prejudices", but a good place to start when looking for material like
this is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, online. Check out
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spencer/.

Near the end, there's a list of internet and book resources. Good luck.
