Excerpt from On Society It will appear from these addresses that we had no idea of forming either a sect or a political party, nor even a Church in any narrow sense. From the first all those with whom I was associ ated, and myself as leader and guide, treated thef scheme of Comte as an Ideal which the future. Might work out, but of which we could only form a School to influence opinion. Everything we did was open to the public, gratuitous, and informal. We made no terms for adhesion in any degree, no rules or pledges, no attempt at legislative action. We were simply a group of men who aimed at' guiding public opinion - attacking none, never disturbing any genuine faith, not seeking any personal power or privilege. The Lectures I now issue were part of the Courses which I gave fre quently at Newton Hall and elsewhere to several Positivist Societies in various cities. As there was. Nothing in them of exclusive dogma or formal sect, they were delivered or repeated to sundry Ethical or Free Thought Societies in England and in America, at which I had been invited to speak.
