s in every
chapter a whole group of speculative suggestions, each of which would
need a long chapter to itself to elaborate or to discuss. There is at
least one biological speculation of astounding audacity that could be
examined in nothing less than a treatise. Perhaps we have said enough
to show that after performing a great and real service to thought,
Comte almost sacrificed his claims to gratitude by the invention of a
system that, as such, and independently of detached suggestions, is
markedly retrograde. But the world has strong self-protecting
qualities. It will take what is available in Comte, while forgetting
that in his work which is as irrational in one way as Hegel is in
another.

THE END.
