Excerpt from Collectanea Bradfordiana: A Collection of Papers on the History of Bradford, and the Neighbourhood; Collated, and Edited, With Notes The science of history is perhaps the highest of all the sciences, inasmuch as its object is to make us acquainted with man in the exercise of his most divine faculties, whether for good or for evil, with the progress of his mental culture, in a word, with the developement of his destiny; it prepares him for the future by the knowledge of the past. Moreover, man seems to have a natural tendency to the study of history, he seeks with eagerness to trace the revolutions of peoples and kingdoms which are known to him, he is anxious to become acquainted with the history of his own country, and to restrict still more the field of enquiry, who is there who is not curious to learn something of those who have inhabited in former times the place in which he was born, or in which he lives.
