"HISTORY is the recital of facts given as true, in contra-distinction to the fable, which is the recital of facts given as false."
"There is the history of opinions which is hardly anything but a collection of human errors."
"The history of the arts can be the most useful of all when it joins to the knowledge of the invention and the progress of the arts the description of their mechanism."
