The extensive territories of France are divided into a multitude of literary republics. Every public foundation for the education of youth offers premiums for the investigation of science, and the improvement of those arts from which society can immediately derive advantage. Not a mail that arrives from that country but announces a premium for the elucidation of some important subject.-- The sum of 400 livres (about 18l. sterling) is proposed by the Governors of the foundling hospital at Paris, to professors and students in medicine, for the best thesis on the nature, causes, and cure of the aphthæ, or thrush, a disease to which many infants, from a day old up to four months, are very liable, and to which multitudes fall victims, both here and in that country.
