Smith, of Coke Bros, whose mines are

How to Read History.

Perhaps the best way to read history
is to take up the life Of some great fig
ure that attracts our imagination and
be drawn by that into the study of the
general stage upon which he was only
a single ACTOR. Certainly it is not
good plan to begin with those elabo-
rate documentary histories in which
you cannot see the wood for the trees.
1t Is better to be wrong in a few of
your facts or even contract a bias from
some partisan historian than to lose
yourself in a morass of documents,
says Success.
The best histories are the widest.
If they occasionally lead you astray,
you can always correct them by the
more sober colored chronicles. Macau-
lay may have been prejudiced, and so
may Froude, and so undoubtedly was
Carlyle; so, again, was Gibbon; vet,
none the less, these are the great ais
torians, the historians who set you up
on the peaks Of time and enable you
to see history as it lies beneath in wide
views and broad masses.
