Later in the nineteenth century France was too often content to live on the memory of the scientific achievements of earlier generations. . . . The decline of science in France relative to Britain is a complex phenomenon involving many factors. Apart from the provision of laboratory facilities, we must take into account less tangible factors such as the influence of Romanticism and even the triumph of positivism. We cannot ignore political considerations, since not only national politics but also the nastier aspects of academic politics had so profound an effect on the careers of so many French men of science.1
