The fact to which we point with « utrgfeotiotn as , that here , in a first-rate organ , and one spe-¦ ciaUjr devoted t < o the defiejaoe of OrtJbodoxy , is an elaborate review of CJomte ' s Religion and Philosophy , written without unseemly acrimony , and written in such style as to further the interests of discussion . Believing as we do in the immense value of the ideas set forth by Comtjc , we wish for nothing better than that public attention should be drawn to his works . Of the other articles in this Review we may speak in our next . The number seeme unusually viuried and interesting .
