Published in 1926, this book by historian Edward Potts Cheyney examines the nature, methods, and purpose of history. Cheyney argues that history is the study of human progress and that it should be studied both as a science and as an art. He also discusses various methods of studying history, including biography, archaeology, and economics. Cheyney’s book is a thought-provoking meditation on the role of history in society and the importance of preserving historical memory.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the 'public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
