I have thus detained you in defining, at some length, the mean- ing of the term History, in the hope that a greater exactness in this regard might not be without its value in considering the place and importance of History in a scheme of liberal education. I have called it: " man's true record of whatever is general, important, and ascertained, in the living Past of Humanity." It is indeed a record, but one a thousand times corrected and revised; and on the scroll are traced in letters of blood... and tears the large induc- tions that humanity has made as its lessons to each man. O mighty Scroll! where in a century the blazon of a line may set down all the truth that is imperishable. II. Divisions of Histoet. — The second' great question that arises for consideration is, where the student will find this record inscribed. In what volume is it written? In. what book is it reg- istered? Into no one treasury of human knowledge are its riches gathered: its facts and inferences, its truths and illustrations are not collected into any systematic body of history; but are scattered like diamonds in the alluvial drift.
