It is strong and steadfast, though, and in time is always victorious over its menial opposition, for what is history but the past tense of truth, and it is justly said that veritas numquam perit, truth never dies.

orious praises of the living? Or do you think that Poe is comforted by such avid attentions in his present abode? In truth, Melville's only rivalry is now within, and Poe's only raven that daunting memory of those truths which had escaped him in life, but which now are opened to you. More importantly, if this manuscript has been found, it proves that what is contained herein is the unerring truth. I do not write this to exonerate myself, however let me say here that I am more the Andre' than the Arnold, for I was but the emissary of history, not the traitor to humanity, and if not me then some other would have filled the void. Let it be remembered that it was Andre' who gave his life for his deeds, and yet it is Andre' who is recollected with a sweet sorrow, and though Arnold lived, he had no peace. Yet while history is vivid and encyclopedic, in itself a living organism, it can speak only through the mouths of men, who often misrepresent it for their own partisan and prejudiced plans. ABLE LIFE BY THE VAINGLORIOUS PRAISES OF THE LIVING OR DO YOU THINK THAT POE IS COMFORTED BY SUCH AVID ATTENTIONS IN HIS PRESENT ABODE IN TRUTH MELVILLE'S ONLY RIVALRY IS NOW WITHIN AND POE'S ONLY RAVEN THAT DAUNTING MEMORY OF THOSE TRUTHS WHICH HAD ESCAPED HIM IN LIFE BUT WHICH NOW ARE OPEN TO YOU MORE IMPORTANTLY IF THIS MANUSCRIPT HAS BEEN FOUND IT PROVES THAT WHAT IS CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE UNERRING TRUTH I DO NOT WRITE THIS TO EXONERATE MYSELF HOWEVER LET ME SAY HERE THAT I AM MORE THE ANDREA THAN THE ARNOLD FOR I WAS BUT THE EMISSARY OF HISTORY NOT THE TRAITOR TO HUMANITY AND IF NOT ME THEN SOME OTHER WOULD HAVE FILLED THE VOID LET IT BE REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS ANDREA WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS DEEDS AND YET IT IS ANDREA WHO IS RECOLLECTED WITH A SWEET SORROW AND THOUGH ARNOLD LIVED HE HAD NO PEACE YET WHILE HISTORY IS VIVID AND ENCYCLOPAEDIC IN ITSELF A LIVING ORGANISM IT CAN SPEAK ONLY THROUGH THE MOUTHS OF MEN WHO OFTEN MISREPRESENT IT FOR THEIR OWN PARTISAN AND PREJUDICED PLANS
