Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 12 In accordance with the custom that has governed our society for a number of years, it becomes my duty to address the annual meeting upon the work of the past year and our prospects for the future. Sixteen years have elapsed since our organization. During that time great work has been done throughout the world, in all the departments of human research, and historical investigation has received its full share of attention. While the eager efforts of the masses of mankind have been concentrated upon the pursuit of wealth, while the appeals to national pride artfully stimulated in too many instances by selfish schemers for their own individual ends have brought war, and all its train of attendant distresses in different parts of the earth, yet there have been, as there always have been, even in darker times, true and earnest scholars, whose solitary researches have brought to light many a hidden thing and corrected many a false notion that for generations has disturbed the judgment of mankind. There are not wanting philosophers who have risen from their studies in utter despair that history can ever be written where the truth shall shine through its pages to the enlightenment of those who turn to the past that they may be aided in their conduct for the future.
