Modern History
Germany andF rance, in their methods of historical research and in their style of historical composition. In delineating the progress of events, the historian of these countries has become accustomed to embrace a much greater variety of topics than formerly. He has learned, too, to scrutinize the authenticity of facts more carefully, and to draw some of his most important information from sources which were once regarded either as unworthy of his notice, or as foreign from his inquiries. He has also learned to deal with facts, as significant of great principles, and to fix their historic value according as they represent more or less clearly and expressively the essential features of an age or the important revolutions of a system.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
