Excerpt from A Course of Lectures on Modern History: To Which Are Added, Historical Essays on the Beginning of Our History, and on Caesar and Alexander It was my first wish to place these Lectures in the hands of my hearers. To some passages, especially those which are entirely based upon special and novel researches, it would have been perhaps more appropriate to add remarks upon those topics of inquiry, which could not well be discussed in oral delivery, as well as to adduce the less known authorities. Such was at first my intention. Most of the remarks, how ever, would have swollen into treatises; the character of the work would thereby have become totally changed, and several years would probably have elapsed before its completion. I believed, however, that several of those, who in Germany, or elsewhere, where the German language is known, pay attention to, and take an interest in, my labours, would prefer to have these reflections on modern times at once, and in the very form in which they now appear.
