So falsely have some portions ef history been written so foally bave some great events been misrepresented, so outrageous- ty haye some Hlustrious characters been defamed that —in language which has been very generally accepted — the distinguished philosopher, Connt De Maistre says that, foy the last three hundred years history bad been a conspira¢y against the truth, If men, writing about events of the past ages have permitted th mselves to be con trolled by party, nativna! or religious feel ings, or by their passions periaaps 10 1s too much to expect that sewspaper writers should describe present events in any other way than will subserve their party or per- sonal interests. If these wiiters have been discarded office holders or ure expectants of offjee oy power, then they have strong inducements to gloss over the truth, to ex- aggerate circumstances, and to injure the reputytian of their political opponents, wom they hope to displac e.
