Excerpt from The Use and Study of History: Being the Substance of a Course of Lectures Delivered in Dublin, in March, 1841 The time has come, when it befits no longer our position as a people to neglect the study of history. Why it has hitherto been so much me glected amongst us, I am not here to say. It might be that we should not all agree, if we attempted to compute the causes that in this, as in so many other ways, have held our nation back from running the race, which nature seems so palpably to have set before her, but I will hope that all of us are equally sorrow-stricken and ashamed, whenever we think upon the ill cultured and u-nfruitful energy of our Country.
