No occupation can be more agreeable to the studentt than tracing the rise and progress of those subjects, which have claimed his time and attention. The inquisitive character of the human mind does not permit him to rest satisfied with the results merely, of science or of art, but leads him to seek the causes of these results, and the chain of circumstances connected with their developement.
