Comments on JH's disagreement with the nebular hypothesis of Auguste Comte, and points out to JM that JH disagrees with some of JM's writings on physical science as well.
Proceeds to show JM in detail that Comte's nebular hypothesis is arguing in a 'vicious circle' [see JH's 1845-7-10].
Is willing to have JM show Comte JH's letter of 1845-7-13, but not JH's 1845-7-16. The latter of these two was intended to show JM the nature of the argument from JH's perspective.
Sorry for the delay in response; JH has been ill for some time. JM has objected to P. S. Laplace's theory of probabilities; JH strongly supports Laplace.
Continues JH's defense of Laplace's writings on probabilities [see JH's 1845-12-22].
A note to accompany a working out in convenient form an example of Laplace's probability ideas. [Enclosure not found.]
Do as JM suggests. Further comments on JH's dispute with the theories of Auguste Comte.
Two problems verifying a theory of P. S. Laplace.
