M. CESAR MOREAU.

The Herculean labours of this Gentleman are not
more remarkable than is the rigid strictness with which
he has abstained from attempting to draw from the
enormous mass of facts that be has collected deduc-
tions favourable to the views of any party, either of po-
liticians or economists. He has contented himself in
every one of his important works with classifying facts,
leaving these facts to speak for themselves. This is not
po4ibly the highest exercise of the human intellect ; but
those who look on it as the lowest are very grievously
mistaken. Thelucid arrangement of his materials, and
the happy choice of his subjects, as well as his frerseves.
ing industry, without which the highest genius as worth-
less to•its owner and to others—these point out M. Mo-
reau as a Gentleman, were he to betake himself to the

task, as capable of framing an original work, as be has
shown himself indefatigable in furnishing facilities to
those who are so employed. He is peculiarly entitled
to the kind consideration of Englishmen, because from
his residence in England for a number of years his time
ha. been chiefly devoted to their service. The following
is, we believe, an accurate list of M. Moreati's works,
and it will be seen that. with the exception of the last,
the whole of them relate to British manufactures and
'commerce,
Risiond Progress of tbeWool Trade and Woollen Illansfactore

M. Moreau, on visiting France a few months ago,
received from the Baron de Dimas an appointment in
the establishment of the young Duke of Bourdeaut. lie
does not derive from it the slightest emolument. nor
has he ceased to hold the office of Vice Consul here,
which he has filled for several yeses. The duties im-
po,ed vn M Moreau (and there is not a man in Europe
so fitted for the pesformance) are to draw up for the
young Prince a conspectus of the statistics of the world,
a ,übject of no mean importance in the education of
the heir of the French Crown. It is the abject of the
work in which M. bloteau is now engaged to place be.
fore tie young Prince " a complete picture of the si-
relation of the different States in the world. in all the
p .ints of view necessary to the distinct appreciation°, the
elements of their power, natural and political, their
ealth, their resources of every kind." In pursuance
of t is object it is his design to arrange and classify the
whole of the vast materials, at present scattered over
the filty public libraries of Paris, that treat. either di-
rectly or indirectly, of statistics. in such a way that his
labours shall present a brief system within themselves.
and at the same time a catalogue raison& of the books
from which it is extracted. The following account
from the Parisian cot respondent of the Literary Gazette
gives a pretty aeon ate view of M. M..reau's object—
" Some Ouse English papers having stated skit M. Cesar Moreau,
the late French Vice Consul at Loathe, was engaged upon an ins.
portant week fort►e young Doke of Bordeaux, I have taken some
pains to get information concerning it. I bad that M. Moreau had
undertaken to prepare a sort et library of reference of all the works
of interest in the fifty public and forty ostensive private libraries in
this capital. There are in these libraries about 0,000,000 of volumes
of books, and 0,000,001! of mansecripm; and M. Memo Intends
to analyse them all. as to take sheet 1,000,000 of the best books
and about 500,000 manoscrime, of which he will make a catalogue
of reference, so that the young Prince may, at a glance at the this.,
be able to turn to the week of every author of note, on whatever
w►ject. Fer this purpose a room is to be prepared, &tad up with
drawers. es each of which will be pasted the tick; each drawer will
form a division, and within will be the sub-divisions and stairs.
vritb tbe beads: foe instance, the word population' will be placed
on a drawer. in which will be found cards of reference to every
author, ancient and modem, who has written en the subject, with
notes by M. Mersa.; and se with every ether title. This useful
work'will of costae require a Moog time fee completion; ►ut It has
already advanced coosiderably, altheogis M. MOMS basally four
'amanuenses to assist him. He la now ice Loudon collecting materials
for his widenaling."—Liiervey Gamete.
