About this book
The text is Essay 10: Auguste Comte from Critical Miscellanies by John Morley, Vol. III. The contents list names, among others, Influence of Saint Simon, Marriage, Serious illness and Official work.
The text says Comte, after two years at the École Polytechnique, took a foremost part in a mutinous demonstration against one of the masters, and the school was broken up. The text says that, to the great dissatisfaction of his parents, he resolved to return to Paris (1816), and to earn his living there by giving lessons in mathematics. The text says Benjamin Franklin was the youth's idol at this moment. The text mentions a Plan of the Scientific Works necessary to Reorganise Society, published in 1822, and says that modern society is passing through a great crisis, due to the conflict of two opposing movements.
