Synopsis
Studies In Historical Method is a scholarly work written by Mary Sheldon Barnes and first published in 1896. The book is an exploration of the methods used in historical research and analysis, with a focus on the role of the historian in interpreting and understanding the past. Barnes draws upon a range of historical examples and case studies to illustrate her points, and she engages with a variety of theoretical perspectives on history and historiography. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of historical method, such as the use of primary sources, the role of interpretation, and the importance of context. Barnes also discusses the ways in which historical research can be influenced by social, political, and cultural factors, and she explores the relationship between history and other disciplines such as anthropology and sociology. Overall, Studies In Historical Method is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to scholars and students of history today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
There are many people who, perhaps, without being ambitious to write books or become college professors, would like to be careful and special students and teachers of the subject of history. For them I write, and especially for the teacher who wishes to specialize his work, and to see the world from this particular point of view. For as the material world grows smaller, and time and space condense, our intellectual world grows greater, its points of view become more numerous, more unobstructed, and so much more extensive, that in order to have any point of view at all, or get on top of the earth in any direction, we must choose some particular height as our own; do the best we can, it will take a good part of life to attain any high outlook. To what can the teacher of history in the secondary schools aspire? In the field of information, to a fair general view of history plus a very special knowledge of some particlar topic, as the history of his own locality if he is in the country, or as the history of the Napoleonic era if he is in a great city where libraries are rich and generous; in the field of investigation he can add to the sum of human knowledge along the lines indicated by the substudies given in this book. The whole field of our study in the direction of connecting the subject vitally with the pupil, as Miss Kohler has tried to do in her study entitled How Children Remeviher Historyy or of exploiting the exact worth of this or that source, as Mrs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
