Abstract
IN reviewing a number of scientific pamphlets, &c., from Italy, we took occasion to remark (NATURE, vol. xiii., p. 110) that “the restoration of political unity and freedom in Italy has also brought about a revival of that intellectual vigour which we are accustomed to associate with the names of Dante and Tasso, of Galileo and Torricelli. When Italy was divided and each state politically oppressed, her best men were in exile, and their best scientific work was expressed in a foreign tongue.”
