Faithfulness To The Truth Of History Involves Far More Than A Research, However Patient And Scrupulous, Into Special Facts. Such Facts May Be Detailed With The Most Minute Exactness, And Yet The Narrative, Taken As A Whole, May Be Unmeaning Or Untrue. The Narrator Must Seek To Imbue Himself With The Life And Spirit Of The Time. He Must Study Events In Their Bearings Near And Remote; In The Character, Habits, And Manners Of Those Who Took Part In Them. He Must Himself Be, As It Were, A Sharer Or A Spectator Of The Action He Describes.
