“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
