The history of the Christian religion might conceivably be written as
was this history named below:
Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet found the histories of the American
Revolution so full of errors that, in his disgust, he resolved
to make some history that could not lie. The result was the
unique folios now in the keeping of the Lenox library, in which
the author has never written a word, but has told the story
by the assembling of original documents and letters. He never
allowed himself to insert a copy, no matter how many hundred
dollars the original document might cost him.
