PROFESSOR BLACKIE ON THE UNIVERSITIES.

who has spent his life in Edinburgh University, has

system pursued north of the Border that it is quite
refreshing to turn to a criticism of what we have been
told is so perfect. But we in England can take
little credit to ourselves, on account of Professor
Blackie's opinien. His country, he claimed, was much
ahead of England, but she was not at the head of
the world. 1.1;3 idea of a university was not merely
