This treatise of historical methodology, originally published in
1950 is based upon a liberal conception of history which excludes
no narrator of past events from the ranks of historians. It defines
history as the accurate story which preserves the memory of the
past experiences of human societies. The functionof history
determines its method and provides the answer to the question: how
secure is our knowledge of the past? In the author's view, history
is empirical and its results are for ever provisional. The relative
merits of dogmatism and scepticism are examined and several
interpretations among English historians are scrutinized.
