Well, a little searching reveals the following:



 The Visible Word
 by Herbert Spencer

 107 pages
 Publisher: Hastings House; ISBN: 0803877331; [2d ed., rev.] edition
 Amazon.com Sales Rank: 608,573



 I'm quite certain it's the right book, as a search on the full title
 brings up one link referring to Herbert Spencer as the author.
