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.
Do as JM suggests. Further comments on JH's dispute with the theories of Auguste Comte.
Is gratified by the mention of JM's name in JH's B.A.A.S. address, but thinks that JH has made a grave error in his castigation of the work of Auguste Comte. Comments on his theories.
Would like to send the Athenaeum to Comte together with a copy of JH's last note. Comments on the theory of Auguste Comte. Will be thankful to receive comments on JM's own book.
Has nothing more to do than to thank him for his explicit letter. Will forward a copy of this letter to Auguste Comte.
