     summary: He is less contented than other men to take things for granted. The historian is a man of flesh and blood and may love his country as ardently as other men; but, if he is to be worthy of his high calling, he must trample passion and prejudice under his feet and walk humbly and reverently in the temple of the Goddess of Truth.

     summary: The new astronomy is not a more complete break from the old geocentric system with its stationary earth than is our modern progressive way of thinking from our fathers' static conception of human life and history. Aeschylus saw men lifted from their hazardous lives in sunless caves by the intervention of Prometheus and his sacrificial teaching of the arts of peace; Euripides contrasted the primitive barbarism in which man began with the civilized estate which in Greece he had achieved--but this perceived advance never was erected into a progressive idea of human life as a whole.

     summary: Now in this aim, we must ask, does a man need other men and other creatures, and in what sense does he need them? All history, and more especially the history of early man, must deal primarily with externals.

     summary: The age represents a galaxy of great men: Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Socrates, Thucydides, Phidias, Ictinus, and others. Other great civilizations have fallen because they stressed the importance of the material life and lost sight of the great adventure of the spirit.

     summary: Some of the large brewers, chemical manufacturers, candle companies, and many others, constantly employ scientific men in this way to examine their materials, processes and products, and keep them acquainted with the progress of discovery and invention in relation to their own particular trades. It is true that many theories have been invented and entertained for a while in the minds of scientific men, and have then passed away, but we must remember that these are only the scaffolding of science, and no part of its real fabric.

     summary: Prejudice succeeded prejudice, error followed error; at last, with time men came to correct their ideas and learn to think. Art, religion, philosophy, the creations of social man, belong to a different and higher stage of Spirit's self-revelation.
