But the selection — for what purpose it is to be made ? For the purpose of conveying an impression of the truth. Where shall you find a more radical process of judgment? The "essential" facts taken, the " unessential " left out ! Why, you may make the picture what you will, and in any case it must THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER. 171 be the express image of the historian's fundamental judgments. It is his purpose, or should be, to give a true impression of his theme as a whole, — to show it, not lying ...upon his page in an open and dispersed analysis, but set close in intimate syn- thesis, every line, every stroke, every bulk even, omitted which does not enter of very necessity into a single and unified image of the truth.
It is in this that the writing of history differs, and differs very radically, from the statement of the results of original research. The wi'iting of history must be based upon original research and authentic record, but it can no more be directly constructed by the piecing together of bits of original research than by the mere reprinting to- gether of state documents.
