34. ACADEMY, Wish for Geneva.—

I
should have seen with peculiar satisfaction the
establishment of such a mass of science in my
country, and should probably have been tempted
to approach myself to it, by procuring a residence
in its neighborhood, at those seasons of
the year at least when the operations of agriculture
are less active and interesting.—
