Great Is Bookishness And The Charm Of

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.

History Is A Pageant And Not A Philosophy.
