Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Rhode Island Historical Society: 1905-1906 School claim that. The literary form in which the famous historical works of the world have been clothed is no part of an historian's duty, but rather an obstacle in his way whereby he is tempted to sacrifice accuracy to grace and beauty of diction. In the position thus boldly taken by these scientific historians we behold a reaction against the theory and practice of all the great historians of the world for twenty-four centuries, and, as is usual in cases of radical changes, the advocates of the new have become severe critics of the old. Professor H. Morse Stevens, one of these critics, in an article on history in a volume entitled Counsel upon the Reading of Books, speaks of the famous histories which he characterizes as great monuments of literature, but not faithful accounts of what happened in the past He adds, Educated men will ever continue to read and to admire the great works (of literature) which are styled histories, but it is time that they should read them as literature and not as books supposed to contain historical information. In this summary way, as by a single stroke of the pen, does Mr. Stevens dispose of the great historical works that we have all read with so much interest, supposing that we were reading history and that we were learning something in regard to the past. He thus leaves the world practically without a history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
