The lEteippl. Decision hr Pinot*ln.
1116.50M0 - Of: Otlr ootemporaries express
considersble surprise at a recent decision
madit bittie Superior Court in Prussia.—
In thneante of a negro applying for his
freedoti,, the Cdurt held that is the
negro was purchased in - Brasil, where Slit-,
very was . rettognised, his ,removal to Prus
sia did not release him from that condition.
This is exactly the reverse of Lord Mans.
field's decision in England in 1772, in the
case .of , the negro Somersett, where the
Court held that, Slavery not being recog
nized in England,' a slave who touched
its- shores became free. These decisions
aptly illustrate the difference betwoeu the
legal system of England arid that of the '
Continent,. The former has a common
law which protects all from the privation
of their rights', but the latter is under the
dominion ofothe civil law, which is, in es-
Bence, atid - wal introduced a
mong tle'depotisais of the Continent thro'
the influence of the Emperors, wbo fouod
its prinolitles eminently suitable for the
overthrow of the liberties of the people.
An attempt was made to introduce the civ
il law into England; but it failed, and to
that failure is clearly traceable the superi
pricy of -thd• English •in political liberty
over any of the continental nations. With
the devil law,'there can be no political lib
eery ; and it is - not singular that pros.
sian,Court, acting in t is spirit, should as,
silt in upholding the principles of alavery,
not only in Prussia, but even- on another
continent: The 'Precedent is - rooralicone
for us to follonr, unities, indeed, we wish to ,
substitute the slave-making civil law for
the liberty-preserving common law: There
is a natural sympathy between tyrants; and
it is not singular that the Slavery interest
in thiseountry should quote with wisps°.
tion she action of the Prussian Court. Nev
erthelos, we hope the niasims of the civil
law will not moon obtain permanent foot
hold here, to' assimilate the people to the
despoiled and degnpled peasantry of Con
tinotibil Europe.

Dr: Livingston, seing called upon by the

of South latitude the country was arid and con
tallied very few rivers ; but to the North of
that hire the country was well watered, and
very unlike what the centre of Africa was rep

the Bechuanits. They hold their women in
high estimation. If a men is asked to go any

"I must •go home and ask my wife ." lf she
said "No," there was no possibility of getting
him to move. ,Women sit in their councils,
and while a Bechuana swears by hie father,
these negroes swear by their mother. Dr. Liv
ingston related several amusing instances to
show the high estimation in which these tribes
hold their women. He believed they deserved
it, and he and his men had always been kindly
treated by
.the "fair" sex. The country in
most parts abounded with elephants, buffaloes,
zebras, giraffes, and other game, and he had
shot three new antelopes not yet known in Eng
lead. - He had found if unnecessary to burden
himself with provisions in travelling, for the
anniriniTs did flotsam to know'a gun, and
weuldstand within bow-shot of his weapon.—

General Aesembly:

1 Constitution and laws of this Commonwealth.
you have assembled to- discharge the impor
Cant and responsible duties that devolve upon
you. To protect the rights and privileges of
the people, , advance their interests, and pro
mote the welfare and prosperity of the State,
should be the aiut and end of all your legisla
tion. In the inscharge of my duties, it wilt be
a pleasure to co-operate with you in the ac
eemplislitnent of these Objects.
The past year has been one of unusual
prosperity. The bountiesi. of a kind Mari-
dunce have not been withheld from our Com
monwealth. A plenteous harvest hail reward
ed the labor of the husbandman,— Hondralfie 1
industry, in all its departments, has been en-
Amurageil.. No financial eniburruSsments—
no commercial distress—no political or social ,
evils, have interrupted the progress, or click
ed the energies of the people. The great in
t lemma of education, morality and religion,
have been cherished and sus:ained. Health
and peace, with their attendant blessings,
have been ours. To Him "who rulca the Na
tions by his power, and from whom cometh
down every good and perfect gift," are we in
debted for these mercies, and to Him should
lie given• the homage of our devout gratitude
and praise.
The financial condition of the Common.
wealth is highly satisfactory. Every demand
upon the Treasury hal been promptly met and
paid, without the aid of loans. The operation
of this depa.tment will be exhibited in detail
in the report of the State Ti ensurer.
For the fiscal year ending November 30,
1856, the receipts at the Treasury (including
the balance in the Treasury on the first dby of
December, 1856 p. of 1t1,243,607 33) have been
$6,th;037 64. The total expenditures for
the same period were $5,377,142 22. Balance
in the Treasury, December 1, 1936, $1,244,-
79342.
Excluding the balance in the Treasury on
the first of Dccetnber, 1835, the receipts from
all sources, were $5.378,240 33. The ordina
ry expenditures for the same period, were $4,-
1131144 77, showing an excess of receipts ov
er:ordinary expenditures of $1,265,095 56.
The extraordinary payments for the some
par, were $1,263,997 45, as follows, viz
the completion of the Portage railroad, and
for the payment of debts previously contracted
on that work, $181,49,4 11 ; to the North
Branch extension, $122,74; 521 to re-lay the
south truck of the Columbia railroad; $267,
000 081 for motive power in 1855, $118,049-,
42 ; to 4oularge the Delaware division of the
Pennsylvania canal, $13,960 00; for general
repairs in 1853—'54—'55, $63,965 11 ; to do
inestic creditors, 8151 63; to old claims on
the main line, examined by the commissioners,
and paid under the act of May 22, 1836, $130,-
54 09; to the redemption of loans, $327.824
47 ; and relief notes cancelled, $38,217 00.
The interest on the fimded debt which fell
due in February 'and August last, was then
paid, and that which been aes due in February
next, will be paid with equal promptness, out
of available means now in the Treasury. The
punctuality with which the interest on the pub
lic debt has been paid,, and the ability of the
Treasury to meet all legitimate demands upon
it, have inspired public confidence in our secu
rities, and contributed largely to establish and
sustain the credit of the Commonwealth.
Tim Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
report the sum of $722,43: 93 as due by the
Treasury to that fund This amount will he
applied to the redemption of relief notes now
in circulation, and to the payment of the fund
ed debt. Heretofore the available menus in
the Treasury have been applied, to some ex
tent, in payment of outstanding temporary
loans, which hear an annual interest of six
per cent= ; it being deemed advisable as a
matter of economy to pay these loans, rather
than the funded tlehttavidch bears a much less
rate at intoren., tt is expected that the bat
ance of the totnporary loans will be paid before
the close of the current year, awl the operation
of the sinking fund resumed and continued us

It thus appears that during the past fiscal
year the sum of three hundred .and sixty-sit
thousand one hundred and fifty-tight dollars
and ninety-seven cents has been paid in , liqui
dation of the public debt. This, taken in con
nectigit with the fact, that during the Year en
ding -November 30, 1855, six hundred and
thirty thousand six hundred and one dollars
and t.vo cents were paid on the same accou9t,
exhibits the, gratifying fact, that the process
of reducing the public debt has commenced . ;
aud unless checked by reckless mismanage
me gt.-and extravagant expenditure, must coa
ti-unit until the people and the Commonwealth
relieved front the debt and taxation with
which they are burdened. Iruulditioii to this
reduction of the public debt, large appropria
tions aud payments were made fur the comple
tion of thu Portage railroad and for debts pre
viously contracted on that work i • fur old and
unsettled claims, recently adjusted by the com
missioners appointed under the , act of last ses
sion; for, re•laving the south track of the Co
lumbia titilrodd; for enlarghig the Delaware
division of the canal, and tor other purpOses.
These extraordinary demands upon the Treas
ury have ceased, or wilhinon cease, th e
the'.
necessity that created them ; and that leaee a
still larger portion of the revenues to be ap
plied in payment of the public debt. ,
A careful examination of the financial con
dition of the Commonwealth—her sources of
revenue and the probable future expenditures,
has inspired the hulas that the, time is not far
distant when the public debt will be fully paid,
'and this without Increasing the subjects or ra-
tie of ta xation. It Ins already been shown
that. the, revenues 'ord.:, past year exceeded the
ordinary expenditure, one million two hen
drelland eiztyfivb thousand ninety-five dollars
.1 .0a fillf•six :cents. The estimated receipts
.sod expenditure* fur the current ye ar,. which
will be presented to yeti in the report lir the
State Trenourer,. show trait the excess of re.
ceipts,,over ordinartexpenditures, may reach
the sum of one and half million - of dollars.
These estimates, &dough approximations,
will not be far front thetrue result. Allowing,
then, four lundred thonsand dollars for annu
al extraordinary expenditures—and under a
wise system of economy in no probable eontin•
~trtic n they exceed that sum—we will
ave at ldad one million of dollars to be ap
propriated annually for the payment of the
public debt. With the rapid development of
the wealth and rdsourthsot the Commonwealth
—the increase of popdation—of the value of
real estate, and of the amount and value of
property of every description, the revenues
, must and will contintie to increase. This fiat;
ural and necessity): intense of revenue will
supply every dcfictenty and every demand up
on the Treasury that,faft within the range of
probability. If, theil the sum of one million
dollars he approprintd annually in liquidation
adds debt, and .the accruing interest on the
sums paid to be tippled in the manner of a
sinking fund, the entire indebtedness of the
Commonwealth will be extinguished in less
than twenty-three gains. If these premises are
correct—and their correctness can only he im
paired by unwise legislation, or the imprudent
management of our finances—the truth of the
proposition is susceptible of the clearest dem
onstration. Assuming the public debt on the
first day of December, 1856, to' be, in round
i numbers, forty niiiiions five hundred thousand
dollars, and that at the end of each fiscal year
lone million &Mari, with the accruing interests
on former payments, will be paid, unerring
calculation will determine the result to be as
before indicated. fhtis. before the expiration
of .the year 1879, I'ennsl,yania may stand re
deemed front the dppression of her public debt,
and her people bo released from a taxation
imposed to meet ks accruing interest, and to
mLLi ll tain the faithand credit of the Common
wealth. These views are not utopian. By
prneticing strict eeonomy in all departments
of the government—avoiding extravagant ex
penditure—refusing to undertake any new
schemes of internal improvement, and holding
to a rigid accountability the receiving and
disbursing agenta of the State, their realiza
tion may be anticipated with confidence.
I must again call the attention of the Legis
lature to asubject referred to in my last annual
message, ill the following terms:
"Ely the thirty-eighth section of the act of
the II;th of April, 18-15, entitled 'An Act to
provide for the ordinary expenses of Govern•
ment, the repair of the canals and railroads of
the State, and other claims upon the Common
weeltli,. the Governor was authorizes to cause ,
certificates of State stuck to be issued to all
persons or bodies corporate holding certificates
for the payment of interest tat the funded debt I
of the State, which fell due on the first day of
August, 1842, the first days of February and
August, 1843, and the first days of February
and August. 1844, in an amount equal to the
amount of certificates so held upset their de
livering up said certificates to the Auditor
Generrl. In pursuance of the authority thus
given, certificates of State stock to the amount
of four millions one hundred and five thousand,
one hundred and fifty dollars and twenty cents,
bearing interest at the rate of five per cent.
per annum, payable semban nuttily, on the first
data of February and August in each year,
and redeemable on or after the first day of An
gust, 1855, were issued. The niiiii.num period))
fixed by law for the redemption of these cer

1855. No provision lists been made for their
renewal' or redemption.

a due record for the credit of the State requires
that provision shoold be made for their renew

a loan cannot be effecti9, in the present finan
cial condition of the, country, on terms more

these certificates were issued, I would recom•
mend that authority ho given to issue the
bonds of the Commonwealth in renewal of said
certificate's bearing interest at the titre of five
per cent. per annum, payable send-annually,
and redeemable on or after the expiration of
twenty years ; and that the bonds be issued
with coupons or cerificates of interest attach.
in stuns equal in amount to the semi-annu
al interest thereon, payable nn die first days of
February and August in each and year. at :inch
place as may be designated: — This change in
the form and character of the certificates, it
is believed, will be so advantageous to the
holders, without increasing the liabilities of
the Commonwealth, as to induce a willing and
prompt exchange, at n premit.m for the bonds
proposed to be issued."
The report of the Canal Commissioners will
be laid before yen,
and will exhibit in detail
the condition of the nublic works—their gene
ral operation. and the receipts and expendi
tures for the past fiscal ye..r.
The total receipts at the Treasury, from the
public works, for the year ending November)
Ifkifi, were 82,006,015 65, being an in
crease over the revenues of the previous year
of $63,638 95. Of this sum $1,013,589 16
were canal and bridge tolls, and $992,426 50,
tolls of the Columbia l and Portage railroads.
The aggregate expenditures fur the seine
Year were $1.943,896 82, being an increase
over those of the previous year. of $105,105 64,
the revenues exceeding the expenditures only
$62,118 84.
The increase of the revenues from these
works would be- encouraging, were it nut for
the fact that the expenditures have increased
in a still greater proportion—the expenditures,
ordinary and extraordinary, exhausting almost
the entire revenue from this source. The sys
tem must be defective, or more care and econ

On the main line the tolls received at the
Treasury from the Columbia road, were
$991,676 50 ; expenditures $528,084 86; tolls
on the Eastern division or canal, from Colum
bia to the Junction, $119,718 36; expendi
tures, $53,048 50; receipts from the Junction
to Pittsburg, including the Portage railroad,
$117,778 00; ordinary . expenditures, $304,-

were $1,229,272 86; aggregate expenditures,
(excluding $267,000 00 paid fur re-laying the
south track of the,Dolumbia railroad, and
$153,049 42 for motive power in 1855, and af
ter December Ist 1656,) were $885,835 65,
being an excess of revenue over ordinary ex
penditures of $343,437 21.
Although the receipts from the Delaware
division are less than those of the previous
year, yet the general result of its operations
is satisfactory. The net revenue at the Trea
sury was $264,095 40. Its management has
boon characterized by a degree of economy
too seldom practiced on some of the lines of
our improvements. . •
However important this division may be to
the trade and business of that portion of the
State,lts proposed enlargement should not.be
undertaken, unless demanded by reasons of
over-ruling necessity. The experience of the
past, as connected with the Allegheny Port
age railroad, and the North Branch extension,
should warn usagainst undertaking without
great caution, any new measure' of improve-
ment, which may drain the Treasury, with
out aiding materially, if at all, the public in
terests. If itept in good order by efficient and
366,168 97
, timely repairs, its capacity will be feilrequal
to all the demands of its trade and business*
I I The Portage railroad is not fully completed.
A small additional appropriation may yet.be
required to, complete,for the fourth time, this"
road. It ie anxious ly hoped that this unpro
ductive improvement mkt)* soon cease its cor
morant demands'epon the Treasury. Every
year's experience more Clearly reveals the im-1
' policy of the State in Undertaking this work. !
It gives me tio ordinary•pleasuro to Inform'
you that the North Brunch extension of the
Pennsylvania canal has been so far completed,
that boats freighted 'With coal and other pro
ducts, were successfully. passed through its
entire length from Pittston to the Junction
canal. This work was Commenced in 1836
—suspended in 1841—resumed in 1849, and
finished in 1856 ; although its completion was
officially announced in 1853, It extends from
Pittston to the Now York State line, a distance
of about ninety-four miles,follovring the valley
of the Susquehanna to Athens, and thence
along the Ohemung river to the State line,
' where it joins the "Junction canal," and is'
thus connected with the New York improve
ments.
The importance and value of this improve
ment cannot easily be over-estimated, Pass
ing through ono of the richest mineral and
agricultural portions of the State, it offers to
the immense and valuable prodoets.of that
region, a safe and cheap transit to the markets
of Now York, Baltiinore, and Philadelphia.
I in the completion of this canal the difficulties
to be overcome, and the labor to be perform
ed, were groat. Both these, to a grout extent,
have been accomplished under the superin
tendency of Wm. R. 3laffet, Esq., to when'
this work was assigned.
This canal although completed, and before
the close of na.vietion, used for the purpose
of transportation, 18 not perfect. Sinks in the
bottom, from the nature of the formation and
soils through which it passes, slides from the
hills, and breaches may occur, but those, after
a few years of well applied labor, will be di
minished, and by vigilance and care entirely
prevented.
This improvement, although subject to the
rivalry of competing railroads, if kept in good
condition, under proper management, will re
ceive its full share of coal and other Mintage.
It is anticipated that the revenues, for the
current year, will equal, if not exceed the ex
penditures ; andpereasing with the facilities
afforded, and the. rapid development of trade,
will, instead ;of its heretofore unionsitg de
mands upoiithe Treasury, take precedence in
revenue over any canal in the Commonwealth.
In relation to the propriety and policy of
the sale of the main line of our public im
provements, my opinion has not changed.—
Every consideration of public policy, it pres
ent and future interest, requires the separa
tion of the State from the management and
control of these works. 'rhe expenditures on
that portion of the line, between the Junction
and Pittsburg, largely exceed tire revenues,
the excess averaging annually not less titan
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars • and
ru
cises are in constant operation that will still
more increase this deficiency. This continual
drain upon the TrfaWry, to sustain a work,
so unproductive, should at once be checked.
A sale of the main line, fur a fair considera
tion, and upon terms just and liberal to the
purchasers, is the proper remedy. Such sale,
on terms amply protective of the rights and
interests of the people, can, by proper legis
lation, be effected. In connection with the
payment of the public debt, this question be
comes deeply important. The sale would con
stititte a new era in the financial history of
the State, and assure it still more speedy re
duction of the public debt, than that to which
reference has been made. The subject is
•Irtritestly commended to your favorable con
sideration.
The subject of banks and banking capital
in its relations to the currency—the general
Interests of trade and commerce and the in
dustrial pursuits of the citizen, deserve your
careful attention. My views expressed in a
former communication remain unchanged.-

old and solvent banks, when actually neces
sary, and demanded by the wants of legitimate
trade in the community where located, should
be favored; under no other circumstances
should either be permitted. In the creation
of bunks, the interests of the State and people
should be consulted, and a just discrimination
as to number, lucidity and the demands of
trade be exercised.
The rapid increase ot population, the im
portance and value of our home and foreign
commerce, the constant development of the
material wealth of the State, the extent of our
manufacturing, mechanical and agricultural
industry, the tact that the State is flooded by
a depreciated currency introduced by private
bankers and brokers, might justify, under the
restrictions nod limitations indicated, a ju
dicious increase of banking capital within •,ur
Commonwealth. This, whilst it would aid
the operations ot trade, and supply the real
business wants of the people, would, at the
same time, remedy, to some extent, the evils
of a depreciated threign and illegal currency.
By the act approved the Gth day of Novem
ber last, the thirtieth section ot• the act of
1850, regulating banks, will be, after the first
day yid uly next, extended to all incorporated'
saving fund, trust and insurance companies.
That section declares "that it shall not be
lawful for any ut the said banks to issue or
pay out any bank notes other than those is
sued by itself, payable on demand in gold or
silver; notes ut• specie paying banks of this
State whip], are taken on deposit or in pay
ment of debts, at par, at • Ow counter of the
bunk where paid out; or notes of banks issued•
under the 'authority of the act of. the 4th of
May, 1841, at the option of the person receiv
ing the same."
These enactments wore intended to protect
the community against the evils of a depre
ciated currency, and prevent its intruduotion
front other States. However well intended,
they will fail to secure these objects, unless
made to embrace private bankers and others
of that class, whose profits are largely depen
dant upon the introduction into the State of
such a , currency. In many instances the
notes of our own banks are' collected by pri
vate bankers and brokers, and with these, or
with the specie withdrawn from the banks is
suing them, they purchase depreciated and
foreign . bank paper which is paid out at par
at their counters. By others large loans
are negotiated with banks out of the State,
at less than the usual rate of interest, and
their notes, often. of a less denomination
than five dollars, and always at a diseount,
brought into the State and put into cir
culation in the manner indicated, and this,
too, under an agreement with the bank mak
ing the loan, that the notes thus paid out shall
be kept in eirculathin. The effect of this sys
tem of private banking has been to limit the
circulation of tho par paper of our own banks,
and subltitute in its place a foreign, deprecia
ted, and'often a worthless currency. In kis-
Lice to the bank, trust and insurance compa
nies, paying a heavy annual tax to the Com
monwealth for their privileges, and for this
protection of the people against these , evils,
either the provisions of the thirtieth' section
of t:te set of 1850, should be repealed, or fur
ther extended so its to embrace private indi
viduals and associations, who may monopolize
and control, to the detriment of the public,

restraint and without taxation.
The report of the Superintendent or Com

and condition of the schools—the number of
teachers and 'scholars, and the general opera

the valuable statistical information of the re

and intelligent consideration.
From a small and comparatidely unimpor
tant incident of-the Ftat i e Department, the
care 'and management of tliepublie schools of
the Commonwealth, with their seventeen hun
dred districts, ten thousand directors, twelve
thousand teachers, and over five' hundred

claim an honorable position, and receive a care
and aid Commensurate/ with their greater val
ue and usefulness.
The County Superintendency, wherever it
has been committed to faithful and efficient
men, has fully vindicated the wisdom and pol
icy of that measure. It is slowly, but surely
removing the prejudices and gaining the con
fidence of the people. Whatever defects time •
and experience may derelop„ in this or any
other branch of the system, should be prompt
ly corrected. But until the necessity fop •
change is established, the system, in its unity
and integrity, should be maintained: and if
changed, changed only to render more certain
the accomplishment of its noble purposes and
oljeots.
A sufficient number of competent and well
trained teachers is the groat want of tho sys
tem. In its structure end organization it is
as perfect, if not more so, than any of the sys
toms of our sister States. But the teacher is
wanted to give it proper vitality and efficiency
—to develop its true force and value—to se
cure the gtwat object of its creation, the thor
ough education of the youth of the Common
wealth. How can this want ho supplied ?
How are teachers to be trained and tirovided
to meet this educational di4nand? Want we
bo dependent upon the training schools of
other States? Must our system be leopard
ed, and its success perilled, by waiting the
slow and unaided efforts of voluntary associa
tions to. furnish the much needed teacher?
Voluntary associations of common school
• teachers have accomplished much in their
disinterested and noble efforts to remedy this
defect. They are worthy the highest common
' dation—they deserve every encouragement.
They can and will de more ; but unaided they
cannot accomplish the object desired. The
Legislature must provide the remedy—they
can supply the deficiency. It should be done
promptly and effectuidly. No subject of
greater interest can occupy your attention as
legislators—no one appeals more earnestly to
duty and patriotism.
In a former communication to the Legisla
ture the c,.tahlishinent of State Noemal schools.
for the education of teachers, was urged as
indispensably necessary to the perfection of
the system. With full confidence in their
utility and necessity. I again recommend
them. These institutions, with their proper
professors, and appliances, supported by the
State, would meet the wants and elevate the
character of our common schools.
Teachers' Institutes, as auxiliary to Nor-
mill Schools, when in operation, and supply
ing their place till established, F honk] be aid
ed by the State. One multi institute in each
county, meeting annually, under the fostering
care of the government, would be productive
of most beneficial results. Whilst it would
improve teachers and prepare them for their
important and responsible duties, it would ele
vate and dignify a profession ten long neglect
ed and under-valued by those most deeply in
terested in their honorable labors. These
measures, as also •an addition to the annual
State appropriation fir common schools, in an
on !y }.y Iha 1100/14"14410 o f aho

increase its efficiency—and thus promote the
true interests of the people and the Common

The State Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg,
and the Western Pennsylvania Hospital for
the Instill% and other kindred porp Wes at
Pittsburg, are noble charities, and deserve
the aid and encouragement of the State. The
annual reports of these institutions will be
laid before you, and will exhibit, in detail.
their operations during the past year.
The House of Refuge at Philadelphia,and the
Western House of Refuge near Pittsburg, are
institutions of groat excellence, and their re
sults clearly establish the wisdom of the pot.

ought not to be neglected ; nor should the aid
of the Commonwealth be withheld froM thein.
The ''Blind" and the "Deaf and Dumb Asy

pathy and aid. They should receive a gen
erous share of the benefactions of the State.
Agriculture, in its varied departments, is
the groat interest of the Commonwealth. It
is the basis alike of financial and commercial
success, and of State and National prosperity.
An interest so important should he fostered
by the State, and honored by all classes of so
ciety. To its promotion and success all should
cheerfully contribute. In a former cuininu
ideation t recommended the establishment of
an Agricultural bureau, in connection with
some one of the State Departments, to give
efficiency to the collectiun and diffusion of use
ful knowledge on this subject: . and to encour
age scientific and practical agriculture.
Science, with wondrous energy, has aided the
husbandman in his him/maid° vocation, and
proffers still more help. The State should
nerve his arni and cheer him onward in this,
the first and noblest pursuit of num. This
subject, in connection with an appropriation
to the "Farmers High School of Penusylva
nia"—an institution deitined to be an honor
to the Commonwealth—is recommended to
your honorable consideration.
The "Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania,"
established by the enterprise and liberality
of some of the patriotic citizens of Philadel
phia, us a school of the applied sciences, de

The laws on the statute book regulating

I have so frequently expressed my views in
