19、 his views as to the scope, methods and purpose of history:The science of history is threefold: first, the dealing with written documents and the arrangement of the material thus obtained; second, topography, the appearance of cities and localities, the description of rivers and harbors, and, speaki

20、ng generally, the peculiar features of the seas and countries and their relative distances; thirdly, political affairsThe special province of history is, first to ascertain what the actual words used were; and secondly, to learn why it was that a particular policy or arrangement failed or succeeded.

21、 For a bare statement of an occurrence is interesting indeed, but not instructive; but when this is supplemented by a statement of cause, the study of history becomes fruitful. For it is by applying analogies to our own circumstances that we get the means and basis for calculating the future; and fo

22、r learning from the past when to act with caution, and when with greater boldness, in the present.St. Augustine, The City of God:(they) have been formed by two loves; the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of selfIn the one

23、, the princes and the nations it subdues are ruled by the love of ruling; in the other, the princes and the subjects serve one another in love, the latter obeying, while the former take thought for allBut in the other city (the City of God) there is no human wisdom, but only godliness, which offers

24、due worship to the true God, and looks for its reward in the society of the saints, of holy angels as well as holy men, that God may be all in all.Gregory of Tours, the History of the Franks, the Life of Clovis:The first child which Clotild bore for Clovis was a son. She wanted to have her baby bapt

25、ized, and she kept on urging her husband to agree to this. The gods whom you worship are no good, she would say. They havent even been able to help themselves, let alone others. They are carved out of stone or wood or some old piece of metal. The very names which you have given them were the names o

26、f men, not of gods.However often the Queen said this, the King came no nearer to belief. All these things have been created and produced at the command of our gods, he would answer. It is obvious that your God can do nothing, and, what is more, there is no proof that he is a God at all.Queen Clotild

27、 continued to pray that her husband might recognize the true God and give up his idol-worship. Nothing could persuade him to accept Christianity. Finally war broke out against the Alamanni and in this conflict he was forced by necessity to accept what he had refused of his own free will. It so turne

28、d out that when the two armies met on the battlefield there was great slaughter and the troops of Clovis were rapidly being annihilated. He raised his eyes to heaven when he saw this, felt compunction in his heart and was moved to tears, Jesus Christ, he said,you who Clotild maintains to be the Son

29、of the living God, you who deign to give help to those in travail and victory to those who trust in you, in faith I beg the glory of your help. If you will give me victory over my enemies, and if I may have evidence of that miraculous power which the people dedicated to your name say that they have

30、experienced, then I will believe in you and I will be baptized in your name. I have called upon my own gods, but, as I see only too clearly, they have no intention of helping me. I therefore cannot believe that they possess any power, for they do not come to the assistance of those who trust in them

31、. I now call upon you. I want to believe in you, but I must first be saved from my enemies. Even as he said this the Alamanni turned their backs and began to run away. As soon as they saw their King was killed, they submitted to Clovis. We beg you, they said, to put and end to this slaughter. We are prepared to obey you. Clovis stopped the war. He made a speech in which he called for peace. Then he went home. He told the Queen how he had won a victory by calling on the name of Christ. This ha
