It is such labors and such generalizations that haverendered his name illustrious in the history of mathematical science. Is it of no practical value that the Chief of the Coast Survey (Prof. Bache), by a few characters written upon paper, at Washington, hasdetermined the exact time of high and low tide in the harbor of Boston, and can determine, by a similar process, the exact times of high and lowwater at every point on the surface of the globe? Are not these results, the highest efforts of s...cience, also of the greatest practical utility?And may we not, then, conclude that _there is nothing truly practicalwhich is not the consequence of an antecedent ideal_?
Science is to art what the great fly-wheel and governor of asteam-engine are to the working part of the machinery--it guides, regulates, and controls the whole. Science and art are inseparablyconnected; like the Siamese Twins, they cannot be separated withoutproducing the death of both.
How, then, are we to regard the superb specimens of natural history, which the liberality, the munificence; and the wisdom of our State havecollected at the Capitol?
