Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History, Its Place in a Liberal Education Address
The teacher will observe his pupil gradually demanding more rigid tests of verity, and fuller proof of what are called the facts of History. He is now ready for the acquirement of Formal His tory; and soon becomes so for that of Scientific History. But there is no period of life or scholarly attainment when he can afford to neglect the vivid and stirring side of the Past, where men and women move and talk and act as they do upon the theatre of actual life.
