UNIVERSITIES. 



759 



The following is a list of tlie universities in the 

 different countries of Europe ; but the reader should 

 be aware of the immense difference between the 

 establishments bearing this name ; for instance, those 

 of Berlin and Gottingen, on the one hand, and a 

 Spanish university, on the other, in which, a short 

 time since, it was prohibited to lecture on philoso- 

 phy. In general, it may be said, that, with the 

 exception of Paris, the Catholic universities out of 

 Germany are very far behind the Protestant univer- 

 sities. See Cousin's Letters to the French Minister 

 of Instruction and Worship ; count Montalivet on 

 the state of public instruction in Germany; also 

 Russell's Tour in Germany, in 1820, 21 and 22, and 

 Dvvight's Travels in the North of Germany, in 1825 

 and 1826.
