Americans think that a love nf ci
once is one, of the leading characteris
tics oi our people, unit attention is di
rected to a largo attendance on lectures
of tins character as a very pointed do
ministration of the fact.
Tho truth is that we uro not scientific
in our instincts in tho best sense. Men
whoso bent is to pursue abstract inou'i-
ries, the .successful result of which is to
ixteiul our knowledge and elevate civ
ilization to u still higher plane, are not
in thu least encouraged, while wealth is
freely expended in endowment.- of a less
iniiiortant kind.
Tho only science that is appreciated
is of tho kind that 'has uiomn in it;'
whoso application directly increases
wealth in commercial channels. This
fact is disgraceful to our culture, and
so patent is it that in Kuropc the deba
sing result has coined a term- Anieri
uanizut ion that litis tho force of a stig
ma among scicntiliu men.
Prof. Tvndtill guvo tho proceeds of his
lectures in this country us an endow
ment for tho encouragement of pure
.science. Tho fund is in itself iusiilll
ciont to accomplish tho purpose, but
not a dollar has been added to it by an
American! Wo huvo numbers of weal

economical subjects teem with puerili
ties and absurdities, without ingenuity
in conception or expression. Of the
ends and objects of government he had
formed no philosophical estimate, nor
dreamed that authority had any other
duty of function than' to cause itself to
be respected and obeyed. The people
were altogether a cypher in his eyes,

rulers, whatever was the character of
their rule, and he eared nothing for
