SCIENCE AND LITERAruRE IN AMERICA
DR. Pierre, in his work just published, entitled
A Pdriadn Pastors Glance al Ameriedn says
ave went to the United States with some
prejudices and one Of them, which we doubt
less shared with many Of our compatrriots
was the opinion which we had formed Of the
degree Of literary cultivation to be found among
the Americans. We were disposed to think
that people 80 essentially commercial and
manufacturing, had but a low appreciation Of
science aud literature, and that, with few
exceptions, they concentrated their activity
and energies ON railroads, steamboats,, and in
dia-rubber. We think differently now. The
love Of knowledge is widely diffosed in the
United Statcsn
This is very magnanimous and very patron
izing. The love Of knowledge is widely diff
fused in the United States Is not this love,
and knowledge itself, more widely difused in
the United Statcs than in La Belle France
