A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When the late war was just ended, and we were turning our thoughts to the question of building a restored nationality upon the fields of our great struggle, I remember being struck by a remark of one of our countrymen abroad, in a letter to a leading newspaper at home. He said the thing he most desired to do was to commend his fellow citizens to a prayerful study of history. His words pithily expressed the feeling wdiich sagacious men must very commonly have had, that the test of our political wisdom was upon us; that the great danger was that we should be too much ruled by the passions and prejudices engendered by strife, failing to remember the lessons which past events might teach, and so should fall into wrongs or blunders that would bring a train of evils from which we could only redeem ourselves at irreat cost and with Qfreat sufferino-. It was evident to all who would think, that the work of pacification and of adjustingthe constitution of the country to the new circumstances of the nation, was one of great difficulty and delicacy, but it was very far from being evident whether wisdom would be listened to and the fundamental laws of human nature and human society be regarded in the legal settlement we were to make.
