History, We Can Confidently Assert, Is Useful In The Sense That Art And Music, Poetry And Flowers, Religion And Philosophy Are Useful. Without It - As With These - Life Would Be Poorer And Meaner; Without It We Should Be Denied Some Of Those Intellectual And Moral Experiences Which Give Meaning And Richness To Life.
