"History hath no page

More brightly lettered of heroic dust,

Or manly worth, or woman's nobleness,

Than thou may'st show; thou hast nor hill nor dale,

But lives in legend."

"That which is a puzzle in the life of the individual becomes principle in the history of the race; the blackest pages of local history are the illuminating spots in the story of humanity."

Faithfulness, and other Papers, 1890.)
