NOTORIETY EXCLUSION. from PARLy DEBATES.
I wonder with that conscience, countenance those persons can avail appeal to themselves of the any intelligence handed down
to us of the sentiments of their predecessors, beyond what dry State jejune information .... which the official
minutes of their proceedings furnishes, who would deny that benefit of that instruction to us & to our posterity:
sure I am, that to be consistent. Transactions of the time yet more interesting to the time present than to future — & are secured from misrepresentation meditated or unmeditated by the controul of living testimony.
They should recall call in their furtive memorials & burn them: — why else rob their ancestors of a privilege which they arrogate to themselves?
Of History none is so important as that of Councils, which instead of a dry & unedifying detail of facts, Acts gives a view of their motives & their — & of no times either so interesting or so instructive as of our own, because no times resemble our own so much as they do themselves.
