Excerpt from The Writing of History, an Introduction to Historical Method
This volume is not a revised edition of my Outline of Historical Method; it is an entirely new work. It was written for college students who are beginning their studies in historical research, for teachers of history who have had no critical historical training, and for students of history who are hoping to find in' private study some compensation for opportuni ties not enjoyed in college. This book does not as pire to fill the place of Bernheim's Lehrbuch, but rather to guide the student through his first steps in research, and to prepare him for the study of Bern heim. In a word, it is an introduction to bistori cal method.
