793 N dealing with historical matter, the historian meets with three 1 classes of material: the things that are, the things that seem to be, AJ and the things that are not. Little difliculty is experienced in deal- ing with things that are not, inasmuch as it is possible for the historian to arrange and group such in what manner soever that pleaseth, without interfering with the onward march of events. Hence we notice that men of inferior ability are usually content to array and range the things that are notg while only the greatest masters will attempt to deal with things that are. In view of these facts, the present historian, recognizing his own mean ability-which is neither inferior nor yet superior, still less capable of disagreeable application-has decided:- To sing the things that seem to be, QI. e.j the class of '93.', Qrime.j , lt is probable that Prof. Emerson would have selected this same topic for the senior lectures in history, had he recognized these three funda- mental features, working principles of philosphico-historical work. lf the reader has heretofore had any doubt as to the value of the study of philosophy, let him now carefully observe how, by subtle distinction and sounding phrase, philosophy, that grotesque offspring of the human intellect, seizes upon things disordered and out of joint, and, deftly apply- ing the proper label to each, arranges them in such array as would com- pare favorably with the University Batallion on parade. Observe this, I say, and doubt no more. The first characteristic of things that seem to be is that they, like a mirage in a thirsty desert, illusively present all the phenomena of things that are, but, like the hump on a camel, it doth not yet appear for what end they seem. In fact, to the ordinary observer, who does not look beyond mere externalities, they are the same. What, then, is the use to argue this question further? The fact is, that a sophomore is of no value 5 and this can easily be proven by political economy, as taught 25
