History and the Novelist.
Mr.. Rider Haggard has no great opin-
ion of historians. He described before
the Public Records Commission the other
dav the troubles of a novelist in search
of historical facts, and stated his conclu-
sion. drawn from a somewhat extensive
perusal of histories, that many-if not
most-of them were little to be trusted,
since they were but too frequently
colored by the individual views or preju-
dices of the writer, at times almost TO the
uoint of falsehood. Hence, in preparing to
write certain historical tales, he had been
anxious to get at the facts for himself
and had sought all the available state
documents of the epochs with which he
which had been published were very ex-
to buy and very difficult to OBJ
tain otherwise and that many of them
were out Of print. The cost of those that
were available was so far beyond his
means that he gave up the idea Of pur
and finally obtained the volumes
he required from library. He suggest
ed TO the commission that IL was worthy
OF consideration whether state records
which were the property of the nation
and should be available to its humblest
citizen outside the doors of the great IL
braries, ought not to be made so avalla-
bic without reference to the commercial
matter of the cost of their production.
