Excerpt from The New Calendar of Great Men: Biographies of the 558 Worthies of All Ages and Nations in the Positivist Calendar of Auguste Comte The first object of Comte was to give a concrete picture of human evolution: and, so far as is known, it is the only attempt of the kind. But it is not a class-list of rival candidates for fame. It is in no sense exclusive; it is provisional; and it is in every sense relative - framed with a view, not to personal merit, but to historical results. It must be understood that this Calendar, framed as it was in the first half of the nineteenth century, is a historical sum mary of the progress of civilisation down only to that date.
