The understanding of history can be advanced only by the
combination or alternation, of analysis and synthesis. Detailed
research and generalizing survey are not antiethical but
complementary. For a long time, however, the specialist has reigned
supreme in our schools. The need is now, surely, for a return to
synoptic writing. The present work was undertaken to supply the
need of a synthesis. It is a map of a large region, not a
geological chart of a square mile or the plan of a single city. Its
value, if any, lies in its view of the interrelations of large
tracts of social and intellectual life, not in the intensive
investigation of narrow fields.
