Letters on the Study and Use of History is a set of essays on the theory and practice of history writing, addressed to the young people of his acquaintance by the British philosopher and statesman Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke. The letters offer a critical assessment of the historical method and argue for a more empirical and scientific approach to the study of the past. The author emphasizes the practical utility of history as a guide to human conduct, and advocates for a more engaged and activist role for the historian in public affairs.
