the beam applies as well to men s appreciations of one 

 another s opinions as to their appreciations of one another s 

 natures. Possibly to my positivist friends I exemplify this 

 truth, just as they exemplify it to me. Those uricom-

 where the beam. Meanwhile it is clear that one or other 

 of the two views is essentially erroneous ; and that no quali 

 fications can bring them into harmony. Either the sciences 

 admit of no such grouping as that which I have described, 

 or they admit of no such serial order as that given by 

 M. Comte.
