Excerpt from Verrazzano: A Motion for the Stay of JudgmentOf course, it is the right, my the duty' of every historical student to criticise the annals of the past and eliminate the false from the true. There is too little of this work done in these days. But the critic himself is amenable to criticism, and Mr, Murphy's Work is open to serious objec-ir tions. He, indeed, makes out a plausi ble theory, and his ingenious arguments might deceive even the elect. Still, while the spirit of the writer is admirable, and the aim fair, his ok is quite ov er shadow ed by the in¿uence of the profes sional habit, and we discover, not only the historian in sealch of truth, but the attorney warmly reaching out to grasp the verdict. Hence the work is charac terized by organic weakness, disguised: under. An appearance of strength.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
