[65] My object is to point out the atheistical systems which are being produced in various parts of Europe, and not to estimate, in a general way, the tendency of contemporary philosophies.  The reader, who would understand the position occupied by materialism in relation to German thought in general, may consult with advantage, Le Materialisme contemporain, by Paul Janet, Paris, 1864; and the review of this work by M. Reichlin-Meldegg (Zeitschrift fuer Philosophie, Sechsundvierzigster Band).  A Swiss writer, M. Boehner, has lately published a learned work on the subject entitled:  Le Materialisme au point de vue des sciences naturelles et des progres de l’esprit humain, by Nath.  Boehner, member of the Societe helvetique des sciences naturelles, translated from the German, by O. Bourrit, 1 vol. 8vo. (Geneve, imprimerie Fick), 1861.
