Tbe duty of the historian is not sienpiy that ef a narrator ef events, but a additee. t tbe accurate statement of the facts be should elucidate ta price pie that underlies the facta. If It be thua written (tbe Bible stands pre-etniscat In tfcis field), there is no study to which man ean apply himself that will give him sucil a pro found knowledge of tbe mer.u and demerits af principle and of men as that of uni versal history. In our Journey through this Immense field we behold the spraigir.g Into life af new empires, tbe kind of men wha buihled them what motives actuated tbce men in their Ufa work; their achievement in war, hi art. in literature then w no-Jce the subtle gathering ef thorn forces of intestine die cord and moral corruption that have con sumed many ef these nations away forever. leaving but a ftw snetaccboiy ruins as a sad reminder ef their faiien greatness. To day w see the bat wuigiiig his draw' flight, and the spider wearing its wtb in tb ruined and silent temples of ancient nation. But upon the funeral pyle tf many of these nations that bare passed lot tbe abyss of eternity, we behold today newer and better nations, and though there bare been ages of darknses and tears and heartacAea. yet we believe that this bid sorrow laden bark of humanity has been slowly moving and la still moving through this panoramic sea of history, toward a harbor of universal Hberty and brotherhood tor man. There are some names that rise hither and higher m tbe estimation ef me as the world moves on; Instead ef fading, their achievements become more and mora lumi nous brighter and yet brighter to each succeeding generation. It Is in one of these brilliant constellations that we see ihio kag with an ever increasing luster, the atar of Oliver Cromwell.

Ia a lener written in 1ST, uhen the burden of the English government was resting so heavily npoa hia shoulders, when he trod the winepress alone, he said: "It ha been heretofore a matter of philosophical die course that a great position, a great authority is a great burden, but I know it ia" taring tbeae days be often re marked concerning the peac that was his when amid the quiet fens of the Ousa One say be said, with bis head bowed ia sad ness: 1 can say ia the presence ef Al mighty God. ia comparison ws ar all like i poor creeping ants upon tbe earth, that I had rather have lived in my fields and have kept my flock than to have undertaken such a government aa this."
