Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Letters, Illustrative of English History, Vol. 1 of 3: Including Numerous Royal Letters; From Autographs in the British Museum, and One or Two Other Collections, With Notes and Illustrations They who desire correct information of the History of their Country must not limit their reading to the Work of the General Historian exclusively. History, confined to the greater events which it records, is usually certain and true: but in the colouring which writers give it, and which they are proud to call the philosophy of history, it is too frequently erroneous. Characters are drawn by those who could not know the persons they describe: facts are imperceptibly perverted to the uses of party: and events which owe their origin to the simplest, are often traced back to the remotest causes. Thus circumstanced, History, however comprehensive in its view, partakes too much of the embellished nature of Romance.
