for the professors of the Roman law
in the University Of Bologna, about
the middle of the twelfth century.
After it was adopted it was conferred
with expense and magnificence and
solemnity; the time requisite for the
degree is from three to eleven years.
Medical science, however, dates
back to the time Of Plato's age, b. &.

Railway Travel in 1880

expectations were INDUCED in that in
course of time the average rates OF
travelling would be at least double the
ordinary speed of the swiftest convey
ances drawn by horses.
1t was anticipated that the general
adoption of railways would lead to "a
vast decrease in the consumption Of
oats and hay by the substitution of
steam engines on lieu of horses and
that portions of the soil which had
been allotted to the growth of such
produce might be appropriated to the
raising of food suitable to the human
species"-an important consideration
in the time of the corn laws. 1t could
not have been foreseen that the rail.
way system, so far from superseding
horses, would lead to an immense IA
crease in the demand for them.
