Abstract

"Non-fiction writing is born of history. History is the seed bed of research. An acute observation of the present preserves morsels for the future. I fall in the class of poor, slaving researchers. I know nothing of the dead languages and in fact am a little shaking on the living. How discouraging it is for the future there are too few writers of non-fiction dealing in the present, and perhaps too many, like myself, shoveling into the talas and dust of the past screening for gem stones of history, scarcely doing more than stirring up a dust."
