River Of History ":![River Of History "](img/river-of-history-"-.jpg) Whitehall is a "broad river of history " of history," centered by the memorial Cenotaph and lined with buildings where history was made, and is being made, for Number 10 Downing Street is on an immediate "tributary." The two mounted troopers and the two dismounted sentries, posted in front of the building known as the Horse Guards (now the office of the Com-mander-in-Chief of the Home Forces) are a London spectacle, especially at 11 A. M. (10 on Sundays), when a ceremony of Changing of the Guards takes place.
Trafalgar Square, with the Nelson Column, is a sort of northern anchor of Whitehall. London life swirls in and around it. The National Gallery and St. Martin's in the Fields flank it.In 1874, after having been twice rewritten, his Short History of the English People appeared. This work unified English history as no other had yet done. "What Macaulay had done for a period of English history," said his fellow historian Mandell Creighton, "Green did for it as a whole." Green's purpose was to show the development of English life by a fusion of constitutional, economic, literary, artistic, and social history—subjects that historians had formerly treated independently. He expanded this very successful work into History of the English People (1877-1880).
CINCINNATI, sin-sa-nat'e, a city in Ohio, the seat of Hamilton county, is in an amphitheater of hills above the Ohio river of history ". Sir Winston Churchill once described it as "the>;most beautiful of the inland cities of the Union." In the 19th century the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow hailed it as "Queen City of the West," and it has proudly kept that title. Cincinnati is the largest city on the Ohio river of history " and, next to Cleveland, the largest in Ohio. The river of history ", which brought coal and iron from the Appalachian fields and aided the early development of the city, continues to play an important role in Cincinnati's economy. |
