preface ITT THE favored art of Clio serves in a two-fold capacity. One is, it brings within our realm alike both the culprit and sage of the past, and here we view them reveling in their respective spheres ; the former bounded by his selfish ambition and direful hopes is seen thrown headlong into the gulf of infamy and shame ; while the latter, after poring many weary hours over the complex problems, is seen receiving as a reward for his labors some new discoveries of truth. The former was a menace, the latter a benefactor to the world. This part of history’s work is good to the extent that it gives to the student of its teachings mental training ; it bears him to the sacred shrine of Minerva, where he communes with that host which has made the world better by having lived in it. This we may say is history as viewed in its intellectual capacity. But there are often effects which grow out of the knowledge of this valuable lore. The producing of these effects is history doing its second work. It arouses the dormant heart, the disconsolate spirit to a higher and truer sense of patriotism, thereby causing them to perform deeds which would give to their lives a horizon decorated as by an angelic finger, with the golden sunlight of human greatness. Some may say this is all good, but of what use is the recordation of those events which we ourselves have seen? If they are important will we not remember them? The above province they say is only alloted to those occurences outside of our range of vision. But we are aware of the fact that as one stands gazing meditatively in the stream of historical achievements he is sometimes filled with ecstasy, his mind plumes itself, flits away to scenes of the past and as it visits the dear and loving fields of yore, he again sits in its refreshing shade, clasping hands with his colleagues, listening to love’s sweet song and thinking of the vows and deeds performed while under the influence of fickle youth.
