4 READING HISTORY. T h e O n e W a y to A c q u ir e a R e a l K n o w l edge of the W o rld . The Palace Henry James once told me that the only reading of which he never tired was history. "The least significant footnote of history," he said, "stirs uu* j more than the most thrilling and pus- I sinuate fiction. Nothing that has ever happened to the world finds me indlf- 1 ferent." I used to think that ignorance of his tory meant only a lack of cultivation and u loss of pleasure. Now I am sure that such igno:.imae impairs our ju dg ment by impairing our understanding, by depriving us o f standards, of the power to contrast and the right to esti mate. We * an know nothing of any nation unless we know Its history, and we can know nothing of the history o. any nation unless we know something of the history o f all nations. i The book of the world is full of I knowledge we need to acquire, o f les ! sons we need to learn, of wisdom w<* need to assimilate. Consider only this brief sentence of Polybius, quoted by P utarch, "In Carthage no one is blam ed however he may have gained his wealth." A pleasant place, no doubt for business enterprise, a place wher young men were taught how to get on and extravugance kept pace with shrewd finance; a self satisfied, sel. confident, money getting, money lovin people, honoring success and hugging its fancied security, while in faroi'f Rome Cato pronounced its doom.
