SCIENCE AND LITERATURE IN A dERIcA.-
DR.. Pierre, in his work just PUBLISH d. entitled
" Il Partisan Pastors Glance at AnleT Ca )" says
awe went to the United States with some
prejudices, and one of them, which we doubt
less shared with many of our eompatrriots,
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 so essentially commercial and
manufacturing, had but low appreciation of
science and literature and that, with a 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 diffussd in the
United States" K
This is very magnanimOus and veEs patron
izing. "The love of knowledge is widely diff
fused in the United States Is not 1dis love,
and knowledge ITSELF more widely d fused in
the United States than in La Belle France I?
