SCIENCE AND LITERATURE IN AMERICA-Dr
PIERRE, in his work just published, entitled "a Pa

"We went to the United States with some preu-
tices. and one Of them, which we doubtless shared
with many of our ompatriots, was the opinion
which we had formed of the degree of literary cul-
tivation to be found among the Americans. We
were disposed to think that people so essentially
commercial and manufacturing had but a low sp-
probation of science and literature and that, with
a few exceptions, they concentrated their activity
and energies on railroads, steamboats,, and India

knowledge is widely difused in the L. Statee'
