Is Herbert Stencil somehow related to Herbert Spencer who is mentioned 
in Henry Adams' Education. Seems plausible...
some facts--
Herbert Spencer, an Englishman, said that society and living organisms 
are alike because they both grow and die. 

Spencer was regarded as one of the most brilliant intellects of modern 
times. He wrote many books about society. 

Human society, according to Spencer, is moving to a better life, even 
though hardships exist. Once society reaches a balance,
it will enjoy peace, freedom, and harmony.
