“ It is the time through which we have ourselves lived, and tjh,e time immediately preceding that—that most directly influence the events in which we have to play our part. If we could but see thesa two periods with, something of the academic calm, and something of the balanced judgment that car. be attained in the study of more distant periods, we should be greatly helped to understand and to deal wisely with the problems of our own day.”—M-.* Ramsay Muir, in the preface to his book, “ A Brief History of Our Own Times.”
