Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fugitive Essays, Upon Interesting and Useful Subjects, Relating to the Early History of Ohio It is not to the addresses or to their publication, nor to the custom of enlivening annual meetings with essays upon general subjects, that we object: for much of the interest and value of the Society is drawn from this practice. The form and manner of publication hitherto adopted will, however, we fear, destroy the popularity and usefulness of its permanent works. Philosophy is a word associated with history, in the name of incorporation, and this embraces almost the whole range of human knowledge; but the main design has been, is, and ought to be, the preservation and publication of historical facts. The practice we are noticing is not of so much consequence at present, as it may be in future, when these precedents shall have made it a law. It has been said that Ohio, in common with the new States, would furnish but a meager subject for the historian. One of this opinion must have reflected little upon the transactions of which the Mississippi Valley has been the scene, since the year 1073, when the Frenchman first made his appearance within its bounds. Fiance, as intimated in the preface to these Transactions, is probably the repository of all the important records of this early period. To the inhabitants of that country, much more is known of the events of the region we inhabit, than by ourselves.
