Excerpt from The English Emersons: A Genealogical Historical Sketch of the Family From the Earliest Times to the End of the Seventeenth Century, Including Various Modern Pedigrees, With an Appendix of AuthoritiesEvery human being is, willy ailly, interested in the fundamental questions - whence he came, and whither he goes, and, in my humble opinion, the genealogist alone can give all answer that ever will be given to these queries beyond his limits all is mystery, unthinkable, incomprehensible.The study of genealogy is invaluable, too, as a training in the weighing of evidence and as an introduction to history. I can conceive of no more attractive or thorough manner of teaching history to school classes than to provide for them a well-equipped antiquarian library, and make each pupil work up the history of a man, family, or town, from the printed records.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
