"BENJAMIN KIDD (1858-1916), British sociologist, was born Sept. 9 1858. He entered the civil service, becoming a clerk in the Inland Revenue office. During 1898 he travelled extensively in the United States and Canada for the purpose of economic study, and in 1902 he visited S. Africa for the same reason. In 1904 he published Social Evolution, the work by which he is best known. It was widely read and was translated into most European languages as well as into Chinese. His later publications included The Control of the Tropics (1898) and Principles of Western Civilization (1902). He died at Croydon Oct. 2 1916.
