the noblest side of his creed. The historic feeling for the unseen
benefactors of old time was matched by vehemence of sympathy with the
struggles for liberation of his own day. And for this, history will not

belongs to the band of far-shining men, of whom Pericles declared the
whole world to be the tomb.
