Excerpt from Thomas Becket: Martyr Patriot Lives of Archbishop Becket and discussions of them have been so many, that some apology may be necessary for another. It is an easy task. We have it on the authority of Mr. Freeman: "There is scarcely any man of past times, for estimating whose life and character we have such ample means. We know all about everybody and everything. As to mere matters of fact, the points of controversy are exceedingly few." But he adds: "The peculiarity of the history is, that, with the same facts before them, no two people seem to be content to draw the same inferences." Truth is single, but attractive: error manifold and repulsive. There is scope, it appears, for further discussion; unless we are to infer that the case is hopeless, and the real Becket an insoluble problem.
