By “science of review” is meant the business of those who occupy themselves with arranging the results of discovery, beginning with digests, and going on to endeavor to form a philosophy of science. Such is the nature of Humboldt’s Kosmos, of Comte’s Philosophie positive, and of Spencer’s Synthetic Philosophy. The classification of the sciences belongs to this department.
