Excerpt from Martyrdom in Missouri, Vol. 2: A History of Religious Proscription, the Seizure of Churches, and the Persecution of Ministers of the Gospel, in the State of Missouri During the Late Civil War, and Under the Test Oath of the New Constitution No human work is perfect; no human judgment infallible. No collation of historical facts can he abstractly accurate, for both their accuracy and value will he measured from each man's point of observation, and determined by each man's interest in the principles involved and the lessons taught. This work - now complete, but not perfect - is submitted to the ordeal of human criticism and consecrated to the high and holy uses for which it was undertaken. It will pass on, with the multitude of other historical works, to fulfill its mission in the world, and be assigned only the place among similar productions which its true merit demands. When the great Athenian artist, Zeuxis, was rallied by the young and dashing artists of bis day because he spent so much time on his pictures, he replied, "Why should I be sparing of time when I paint for eternity?" It is a noble passion which looks through the toils, privations and sufferings of the present to the veneration and homage of future ages. Genius paints for succeeding generations, and can only be measured and appreciated by the lapse of centuries.
