Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social History of the People of the Southern Counties of England in Past Centuries: Illustrated in Regard to Their Habits, Municipal Bye-Laws, Civil Progress, Etc The rare opportunity afforded me of access to archives abounding with new materials for local and general history has furnished employment for the leisure of past years. Researches commenced in this new field disclosed many particulars of the former condition of our countrymen, the strictness of our borough magistrates, and the general state of provincial civilisation. These have been made available for the express correction of a very general ignorance of our Social History that prevails. That great historian Thucydides remarked the existence of the same in Greece; and explains this general weakness of mankind, arising from their receiving alike, without examination, from each other, the reports of past events, even though they may have happened in their own country. And he cites some remarkable examples of incorrect notions possessed by his countrymen, even of affairs of their own time. The same historian concludes with a remark found to be true in every age: - "With so little pains is the investigation of truth pursued by most men, that they rather turn to views already formed."
