climate and of the want Of moral training hinder
those abilities from being developed, and that hence
substantial knowledge Is more general IN Europe than
in this country. Mr.. Ley denied this and read quite
q lengthy and ingenious argument for his Side OF the
question. Great complaints were made that the
