From The Literary Gazette, 24th December, 1836.
"Von Raumer.
He has recalled the past as still
The present should the past recall:
With careful patience seeking truths,
And asking lessons from them all.
'Tis the historian's part to weigh
The glories of a former hour;
His are the trophies that outlast
The storied arch, the lofty tower.
We mark the progress of the mind—
How changed to what it was of yore!
And every point of knowledge gained
Seems an encouragement for more!"
