rif. 018957[Positivisme] Richard Congreve (1818-1899), philosophe anglais, figure de proue du positivisme en Angleterre, à l'origine du schisme en 1878. L.A.S. en français et à la troisième personne, 21 Saint Paul 92 [9 juin 1880], 1p in-8. A Marie Weyer (1827-1881), épouse du docteur Jean-François Robinet (1825-1899), médecin d'Auguste Comte et important positiviste français. « Le Dr Congreve se permet de rappeler au souvenir de Madame Robinet un prêt de 5 livres sterling fait par lui il y a à peu près quatre ans pour aider madame Granjon ou autre. Il voudrait bien rentrer dans ses fonds. Il serait surtout facile d'effectuer le paiement de cette dette en la déposant entre les mains de M. Lacoste propriétaire de l'hôtel des Saints Pères qui s'en chargerait pour le Dr Congreve. Si un délai est nécessaire, Madame Robinet n'a qu'à en indiquer la limite ». Léopold Auguste Granjon (1845-1875) est un ouvrier, militant ouvrier, franc-maçon et positiviste, membre du cercle des prolétaires positivistes. Il meurt donc en laissant son épouse Constance Friant (1843-?) qui avait donc été aidée par les positivistes. Les lettres entre positivistes sont rares. [443]

Et je fais des voeux pour qu'il soit bien casé à Bruxelles - en attendant ce qui ne saurait être ajourné indéfiniement sa rentrée en France. je suis chez les Geddes. Monsieur est en train de vous écrire. Tous les deux ils me chargent de vous remercier de votre bonne lettre. Madame Geddes va mieux mais sa santé est toujours assez faible. La perte est grande de ce roi d'Italie. Bien à vous. Richard Congreve ». Godfrey Lushington (1832-1907) était un haut fonctionnaire anglais. Emily Geddes (1840-1929) et son mari James Geddes (1841-1880) sont la belle-soeur et le beau-frère de Congreve. Le roi d'Italie est Victor-Emmanuel II, mort le 9 janvier 1878. Leroux est probablement Ernest Leroux (1845-1917) qui publia des ouvrages positivistes dont les Lettres d'Auguste Comte à John Stuart Mill (1877). Les lettres entre positivistes sont rares. [444]

Au docteur Jean-François Robinet (1825-1899), médecin d'Auguste Comte et important positiviste français. « Cher Monsieur Robinet, Je remets le bordereau qui, du reste, n'était nullement nécessaire. Dans les détails, je remarque la protestation contre le nouvel emprunt municipal - imprimé. Il est pour moi douteux si cette publication ait dû être à la charge du subside sacerdotal. Elle revient plutôt au fonds typographique que nous avons mis tant de soins à séparer de l'autre. Je vous offre à vous et à toute votre famille mes voeux de bonne année. Veuillez les agréer aussi bien que l'expression de mes meilleurs sentiments. Richard Congreve ». Les lettres entre positivistes sont rares. [445]
