To prevent further lies occurring in the telling of history, the author provides helpful hints: writers must reflect upon the source in order to extract the truth from it. The memoirs of Nelson, Lady Hamilton, Sir William Hamilton are used to demonstrate the importance of this statement. As well, the author suggests that the scope of history should be enlarged {attribution Wellesley Index}.\n \u201cWELD\u2019S HISTORY OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY.\u201d Fraser\u2019s Magazine<\/i>, 38, no. 224: (August 1848): [129]-137.\n The reviewer thinks that Charles Richard Weld\u2019s book is much needed (published J.
