Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contributions to Modern History: From the British Museum and the State Paper Office; Frederick II. And His Times Frequent and loud complaints have been made of the defectiveness and inaccuracy of history. In part they are certainly well founded, and like many other things which are imperfect, cannot be entirely remedied; on the other hand, however, we might, in a great measure, remedy them, and at least approach the attainment of the object, if the historian were liberally allowed access to all the existing sources of information, and if no mystery were made of that, the publication of which would be equally harmless and instructive. It is an incontrovertible, and, it is to be hoped, not merely temporary, advance of the age, that, in our days, what really decides the affairs of the world can no longer remain a court or cabinet secret, that stratagems and intrigues, prejudices and bribery, no longer decide on peace and war, or the prosperity and progress of nations.
