To say nothing of its coarser form.
20 The Uses of History.
when omens were sought from the post-mortem examination of bodies, and that by the most ex- alted men of their time, the seeking of hght from the recalled spirits of men is frequently alluded to by Justin, Clemens Romanus, and Tertullian.
From the sixth century downward, this process of light-seeking had not much repute. We do not expect anything from it, but there is a real way in which we can interrogate the departed, question the ce...nturies, and through the testimony of his- torians set light on present problems.
Here again, of course, we have to be sure of our History. Few brighter men have figured in this generation than Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, who once made a point about Puritanism, and backed it up by the statement, that by the laws of Connecticut it " was criminal for a mother to kiss her infant on the Sabbath-day." He cited as his authority Peters's "History of Connecticut," 1781, and Captain Mar- yatt's "Diary, Blue Code," of which the author had kindly given him a copy.
