Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lectures on Modern History, Delivered in Lent Term, 1842: With the Inaugural Lecture Delivered in December, 1841 In speaking of history generally, I may appear to be forgetting that my proper subject is more limited that it is not history simply, but modern history. I am perfectly aware of this, and hope not to forget it in my practice: but still at the outset I must trace the stream from its source: I must ask you to re main with me awhile on the high ground, where the waters, which are hereafter to form the separate streams of ancient and modern history, lie as yet undistinguished in their common parent lake. I must speak of history in general, in order to under stand the better the character of any one of its particular species.
