This book is an extended version of the Wiles lectures given at the
Queen's University, Belfast, in 1954. It illustrates the rise,
scope, methods and objectives of the history of historiography. The
topics selected for discussion give a general outline of the modern
historical movement from the mid-eighteenth century to the
contribution of Lord Acton in the late nineteenth century.
Significant landmarks in the history of historical scholarship are
examined to illustrate the various kinds of treatment that can be
given to the subject.
