Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 9 And with a sinuous eloquence would touch For ever at that haven of the dead. Those who are prepared roundly to assert that Thucydides is a more philosophical historian than Herodotus, ought to have settled, in their own minds, the world-old debate as to how far and in what way a power higher than that of man interferes or does not interfere in human affairs; for that is after all the real distinction between the two. A belief in an over ruling Providence is the root-idea of the elder writer, although he is very far indeed from over-looking nearer and more obvious causes of things.'

Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1915, Vol. 9 Came like a deluge on the South, and spread Beneath Gibraltar to the Libyan sands. While the general aspects Of the war appeal to the imagination of historians, one part of the world-wide field in which it is waged has a special interest for us as English men. We associate with the names of the cities and rivers of Belgium memories of older battles than those which now turn them to heaps of ashes and redden the waters. There is hardly a place in Belgium or on its borders in which the ancestors of the English soldiers fighting now have not fought in times past. The names of Nieuport, Ostend, Antwerp, Ypres, and many other places take us back to earlier triumphs or reverses. All have their niche in the pages of our military history. \vhy is it that so many of our battles have been fought in this particular plot Of ground? It seemed to me that it would be not inappro priate to consider the causes which have produced the constant repetition of the same phenomena in successive centuries, and to link the present with the past by showing why we were Originally led to fight on Belgian soil, and to make its defence the traditional Object of English policy.

Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1886, Vol. 3 The teachings of Professor Daniel Wilson, the apostle of prehistoric archaeology, had a natural in uence in moulding my own investigations, which have been still further favoured by the liberal assistance of Dr. Hayden and his colleagues at the Smithsonian, Professor A. Graham Bell, Professor John Campbell, of Montreal, &c. When the migrations began remains in Obscurity, but many of the phenomena of migration are illustrated by race, language, mythology, and culture.
