Abstract
II.
THE German University System, described in our last article, has been recently extended to other parts of the Continent. In Holland, for example, the progress made in this direction of late years has been immense, considering the small extent of the country. Again, in France, at the time that Duruy was Minister of Public Instruction, a measure was adopted which was prompted by the same tendency. One of the most distinguished savants of that country (Prof, Wurtz) was sent into Germany to collect information as to the great institutions which exist in that country for the promotion of natural science. The results of this inquiry are embodied in a voluminous report, illustrated with plans of the most important buildings. The favourable impression made on the mind of M. Wurtz by all that he saw in this journey may be judged of by the terms employed in the final paragraphs, in which he sums up his conclusions, and enforces the necessity of introducing German organisation into France.
