Auguste Comte has given these antecedents a systematic embodiment in the Positivist Calendar. That precious institution (the Calendar), which also was at first founded on theology, is now, therefore, equally released from con- nection witli Ciod. The consecration of marriage is an analogous case. In primitive times, the idea of incest did not exist, and alliances were made within the same family. The accounts of travellers who have explored our planet confirm what the Bible and the laws of the ...theocracies had told us. What eff"orts it required to get the notion established ! We see, in the King (EdipiiSy^ by what terrible sanction the poet supports, in the name of the gods, the rule, at that time new, of the punishment of incest. CEdipus is condemned for having committed, although unconsciously, and after having done his utmost to avoid it, that crime which fate had decreed that he should commit. Human reasons for the rule would not at that time have had so striking an effect as its institution by the gods, and yet it is the former which to-day are spontaneously and generally accepted.
