Martineau, Harriet

Comte s account may work for a history of transcendental ideas but not for a history of disciplines. Comte s Cours de philosophiepositive was published in six volumes in Paris during 18301842. See the abridgement by Harriet Martineau, in her edition, The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte, 2 vols. (London J. Chapman, 1853).

The Southern Literary Messenger, for instance, reviewed works critical of slavery such as Harriet Martineau s Society in America (3 [November 1837] 641—657), and noticed other antislavery texts, including Lydia Maria Childs, Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans (i [July 1835] 651).
