The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Unseen World and Other Essays by John Fiske: highest position in Christendom a man who was something more than

With this brief criticism, we must regretfully take leave of Mr.
Motley's work. Much more remains to be said about a historical
treatise which is, on the whole, the most valuable and important

future as he has been in the past; and that we shall soon have an
opportunity of welcoming the first instalment of his "History of
the Thirty Years' War."
March, 1868.
