That Great Dust-heap Called 'history'.

Good As It Is To Inherit A Library, It Is Better To Collect One.

There Were No Books In Eden, And There Will Be None In Heaven

The True Historian, Therefore, Seeking To Compose A True Picture Of The Thing Acted, Must Collect Facts And Combine Facts. Methods Will Differ, Styles Will Differ. Nobody Ever Does Anything Like Anybody Else; But The End In View Is Generally The Same, And The Historian's End Is Truthful Narration. Maxims He Will Have, If He Is Wise, Never A One; And As For A Moral, If He Tell His Story Well, It Will Need None; If He Tell It Ill, It Will Deserve None.

It Is The Mass The Matters.
