      The Uses , or History ^ History it—„ ,. „ ever read in vain ! Poring with microscopic rn over the symholg in wluch it is written , they are Sdless of the great s expressed b / theiti . Instead nf collecting evidence bearing upon the all-important n , iftstion--Wliat are the laws that determine national Secess or failure ^ stability or revolution ? -they gossip 5 , out state intrigues , sieges and battles , courj s ^ udal , the crimes of nobles , the quarrels of parties , the births , Laths and marriages of kings , and other lite trifles .

      M inutise , pettifogg ing details , the yanity and frippery of bygone times , the mere decorations of the web of existence , they examine , analyze , and learnedly descant on yet are blind to those stern realities which each aee shrouds in its superficial tissue of events—those terrible truths whicL . glare , out upon us from the < rloom of the past . From the successive strata of our historical deposits , they diligently gather all the hio-hly- coloured fragments , pounce upon everything

      tlut is curious and sparkling , and chuckle like children over their glittering acquisitions ; meanwhile the rich veins of wisdom that ramify amidst this worthless debris , lie utterly neglected . Cumbrous volumes of rubbish are greedily accumulated , whilst those masses of rich ore , that should have been dug out , and from which golden truths might have been smelted , are left unthought of and vcasough . i .-- 'Social Statics .
