The work which Mr Buckle
'
The work which Mr. Buckle contemplated was designed to supply this _desideratum_ in respect to History. It was an endeavor to discover 'the Principles which govern the character and destiny of nations,' an effort 'to bring up this great department of inquiry to a level with other departments,' 'to accomplish for the history of man something equivalent, or at all events analogous to, what has been effected by other inquirers for the different branches of Natural Science,' and 'to elevate the study of history from its present crude and informal state,' and place 'it in its proper rank, as the head and chief of all the Sciences.'
At the outset of his undertaking, we have ample evidence that the capacious-minded Englishman had fixed upon no less a labor than '_to_solve_the_great_problem_of_affairs;_to_detect_those_hidden_circumstances_which_determine_the_march_and_destiny_of_nations;_and_to_find,_in_the_events_of_the_past,_a_key_to_the_proceedings_of_the_future,_which_is_nothing_less_than_to_unite_into_a_single_science_all_the_laws_of_the_moral_and_physical_world_.
