ARISTOTLE CONSIDERED AS A MODERN POLITIs
ClAN.—Professor Blackie delivered an interestiti4 loanre
at the Philosophical Institution at Edinburgh on Friday.
The subject was " Aristotle; Politics ; Education among
the Athenians." "if Aristotle were to appear," the Pro-
fessor remarked, " I would say to him, Mr. Aristotle,
what is your opinion of the present political state of America
and Great Britain?' " As regards America, Professor
Blackie has no doubt Aristotle would say that the phased
democracy exhibited in New York was the worst possible
form of government, and that en absolute desPotisin
would be in many respects far better. As re-_-,-rcla
land, Aristotle would express areal; satisfactic,... with the
pre,sent constitution of the country as \-\.,,e noW had it after

see a serious element of danger in the unequal distribution
of property, and in the contrasts between the few rich
and the many
.poor, as well m in the growth of luxury
and the worship of mammon. Professor Blackie did not
inform his audience what Aristotle would think of the
