HISTORICAL DIFFICULTIES

AND

CONTESTED EVENTS.

L’histoire n’est le plus souvent,
et surtout à distance, qu’une fable
convenue, un qui pro quo arrangé
après coup, et accepté.
(Sainte-Beuve, Nouveaux Lundis.
Tome 6ᵐᵉ, p. 8.)
Les vérités se succèdent du pour
au contre à mesure qu’on a plus de
lumières.
(Pascal).
