Excerpt from Select Documents: Illustrating Medieval and Modern HistoryThere are in this country very many and excellent teachers of one or another period of History. It is, however, no offence to say, that the number of teachers lecturing on or studying History as a whole is a very small one. General History is not yet a subject in which examinations are passed or honours won. Accordingly, there have as yet appeared no works in which the general facts of History have been put together fully and clearly. Most writers on History at once specialise on some one smaller or greater period of History, and we are given to understand that such early specialisation alone will lead to a scientific treatment of History. Under these circumstances it is impossible to find a guide, more or less generally accepted by British scholars, as to the right choice of principal docu ments in General History.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
