David Brewster Quotes

And Why Does England Thus Persecute The Votaries Of Her Science? Why Does She Depress Them To The Level Of Her Hewers Of Wood And Her Drawers Of Water? Is It Because Science Flatters No Courtier, Mingles In No Political Strife? ... Can We Behold Unmoved The Science Of England, The Vital Principle Of Her Arts, Struggling For Existence, The Meek And Unarmed Victim Of Political Strife?
[Reviewing Charles Babbage's Book, Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England (1830)]
