 --Detail from 'View from
Misses Masters School' by J. C. Cropsey, c.1890 |
Jack loved history so...No one
will ever know everything about Jack. But history made Jack
what he was ... this little boy, sick so much of the time, reading
in bed, reading history ...for Jack history was full of heroes.

History is philosophy, teaching by examples. Thucydides I view it as a noble undertaking to rescue from oblivion those who deserve to be eternally remembered. Pliny |
