Suggest Revision: History is not the story of heroes entirely. It is often the story of cruelty and injustice and shortsightedness. There are monsters, there is evil, there is betrayal. That's why people should read Shakespeare and Dickens as well as history ~~ they will find the best, the worst, the height of noble attainment and the depths of depravity.
 
I this day was spectator of the most magnificent Triumph that certainly ever floted on the Thames, considering the innumerable number of boates & Vessels, dressd and adornd with all imaginabe Pomp: but, above all, the Thrones, Arches, Pageants & other representations, stately barges of the Lord Major, & Companies, with varius Inventions, musique, & Peales of Ordnance from both the vessels & shore, going to meet & Conduct the new Queene from Hampton Court to White-hall, at the first time of her Coming to Towne, exceeding in my opinion, all the Venetian Bucentoros &c on the Ascention, when they go to Espouse the Adriatic: his Majestie & the Queene, came in an antique-shaped open Vessell, covered with a State or Canopy of Cloth of Gold, made in forme of a Cupola, supported with high Corinthian Pillars, wreathed with flowers, festoones & Gyrlands: I was in our new-built Vessell, sailing amongst them

History is the branch of knowledge that analyses and records the past events. History is the window to our past, it is an account of how our forefathers lived, their strength, mistakes and the lessons we learn from them. Every nation will have its own history and to get an account of it, we need historians to re- live history. History is also a reflection of the great heritage that a nation possesses, the trials and turmoil faced by the country, the emergence of various powers and events and the way they were tackled. Every moment is recorded in history whether it is triumph or failure. It is our right to know the history and deepen our fervor for our nation. Oscar Wilde said, ‘anybody can make history; only a great man can write it “history is the witness that testifies to the passing of time. It illuminates reality, vitalizes memory provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings in antiquity” said Cicero. Let us study and know history to know about the past.
