But in spite of all these difficulties, real or imagined, let us hope that the days which have been...
...repeated phrase be true, that the study of the past is undertaken chiefly to serve as a basis of a man's conduct in the future, it is only natural that we should turn at this time to the congress at Versailles and wonder if the delegates assembled there will utilize the lessons of similar gatherings in the past...
