Excerpt from Counsel Upon the Reading of Books
When it comes to making a book out of lectures of this kind, I must frankly confess that the enterprise has its disadvantages. It adds another volume to Shelves which are already overcrowded. It necessarily loses one of the best factors in the delivery of the lectures: the personality of the speakers. However much books may do for us, living teachers, of the right kind, can always do more. SO far as my own part in the vol ume is concerned, it has a very superfluous aspect, a preface to an introduction, a porch to a portico.
Yet I suppose there are some advantages in the publication of such a volume. And I am sure that the proper line to be followed by the person who has to write the preface is to point out these advantages as clearly as he can.
First of all, then, it seems to me a matter of some interest to Observe that the lecturers look at the subject from different sides. The difference arises not merely from the fact that each lecturer has a distinct and specific theme. It is a difference of temper ament, of method, of the point of View.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a part of a series on books and reading, examines the modern conception of history and the scientific method of historical research. The author claims that unlike in the past when history was regarded as a branch of literature, modern historians are concerned with presenting an accurate account of the past. To achieve this, they must be diligent in discovering and examining all possible material, and must have a trained critical faculty to evaluate the material. The author discusses the work of historians like Niebuhr and Ranke in developing this approach. The book sheds light on the importance of impartial historical accounts and the scientific methods used to achieve them, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of history and its role in our understanding of the past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
