Strana 183 - Our engineers have no real scientific instruction, and we let them learn their business at our expense by the rule of thumb; but it is a ruinous system of blunder and plunder. A man without the requisite scientific knowledge undertakes to build a difficult bridge; he builds three which tumble down, and so learns how to build a fourth which stands; but somebody pays for the three failures. In France or Switzerland he would not have been suffered to build his first bridge until he had satisfied competent...

In France or Switzerland he would not have been suffered to build his first bridge until he had satisfied competent persons that he knew how to build it, because abroad they cannot afford our extravagance.

Strana 189 - A people divided by fierce civil wars, a prey to a host of different religious fanaticisms, imbued with gross superstitions, has been metamorphosed into a united, moral, religious, tolerant, and enlightened nation. The Scotch poor, and inhabiting a country by no means fertile, have risen by their education and civilisation to the level of, and, if the lower orders are considered, have surpassed a nation which is regarded as one of the most enlightened on the face of the earth.
Strana 183 - ... signs of uncertainty and embarrassment ? This is because even an energy like hers cannot exempt her from the obligation of obeying natural laws ; and yet she tries to exempt herself from it when she endeavours to meet the requirements of a modern time and of modern society with a civil organization which is, from the top of it to the bottom, not modern. Transform it she must, unless she means to come at last to the same sentence as the Church of Sardis : " Thou hast a name that thou livest, and...
