Excerpt from Lecture on the Study of History, Applied to the Progress of Civilization
The offspring of ages, humanity, that ever-moving and ever-changing, multiple being, sums up all human existence; and all things earthly, from the empire that crumbles into dust, to the heart that breaks in its agony, are absorbed in its vast recipients, and modify it with their substances and their energies. Hence, death is but an ascending transformation; and the life of nations a time-mark in universal life - a stray leaf from a majestic tree - a page from a speaking volume, by which we explain the import of the present and the future, through the revealings of the past.
Such is the position which man occupies in the panorama of history, the philosophy of which, applied to the civilization of mankind, we mean to glance at in this disquisition. But before proceeding with the subject, we would bespeak the indulgence of the society for one general remark, which may not be unnecessary to a better understanding of the views which we shall unfold, in the fulfilment of the duty kindly assigned us by the partiality of our associates. That axiom - for it may justly be so termed - is, that the development of society is wrought, not in a direct, but in a spiral, line. Humanity, in its ascending course, has, not unfrequently, recoiled upon itself, the more forcibly to act against some sudden and intervening obstacle. It fulfils its destinies by two distinct and alternate movements - one of creation and the other of destruction. The latter - in the midst of which the former order of things is annulled, whether by reason of its dangers or its insufficiency - obtains till the advent of the providential hour, that reveals a new principle of order to the world.
