Paris, he was able to assist a
nni’^ Frenchman who came to this country
tz
er an appointment from M. Thiers, then
minister of Public Works, to visit and study
minutely the public improvements, canals
and railroads, and the financial and bank
ing systems, both of the States and the Ge3 neral Government. Prom this period, 1833. 35, down to the day of his death, Michel
Chevalier was one of the warmest admirers I
of this country, and now his early friend,
Mr. Robinson, publishes this memoir, read
before the American Philosophical Society, J
in which he gives us a clear and in
structive account of the useful career
of M. Chevalier, and of the wide sphere
of his activity. His Letters on the
United "States were received with great ap
plause, and even now are well worth read
ing, and his thorough and exhaustive report
on our public works, although, oi course,
antiquated by the half century that has al
most passed, is a monument of the pains
taking diligence of the writer and of the
progress made by this young country in de
veloping its communications. What he
learned here and in subsequent visits of the
same kind to England led to his elaborate
Xvork on the Roads, Canals and Railroads of
France, and the adoption and execution of
many of his plans and suggestions may be
seen in the France of to-day, with its net
work of railroads, its thorough system of
high roads, and it§ chain of canals. Indeed,
the great schemes that are now being carried
out in France for supplying every part of
the country with local railroads connected
with the great through lines may be.deduced
from Chevalier’s lessons learned here.
So great Was the appreciation of his pre
eminent services and of the success of his
studies in finance as well as in engineering,
J that at thirty-five he was appointed Profes
sor of Political Economy at the College of
France, and that office he held down to his
death, although he was prominent in public
life, a Senator, and frequently occupied with
great public missions and commissions. His
sturdy independence in politics stayed by
him to the last, and he was the one man in
the Senate who, in 1870, voted against the
I German war, on which Napoleon the Third
entered with a high heart, only to lose his
: throne. The part taken by Chevalier in
; bringing about a commercial treaty with
’ England is fully described by Mr. Robinson,
■ who attributes to it and to the admirable
railroad system in France, devised by Che- j
valier, the rapid recovery of France from
the results of the Prussian war, and its ad
vance to a state of national prosperity
and individual welfare not equalled in
any other country of Europe. Free tra
