An Outline of Method in History is a book written by Ellwood Wadsworth Kemp and originally published in 1896. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the methodology of historical research and writing, aimed at both students and scholars of history. Kemp begins by discussing the nature and purpose of history, and the various approaches that historians have taken to the subject over time. He then goes on to outline the key steps involved in conducting historical research, including the selection of sources and the critical evaluation of evidence. The book also covers the process of historical writing, including the importance of clear and concise language, the use of footnotes and citations, and the structure of a well-written historical argument. Kemp emphasizes the importance of objectivity and impartiality in historical research, and provides examples of how bias and personal opinion can distort historical interpretation. Throughout the book, Kemp uses examples from a wide range of historical periods and topics to illustrate his points, and provides practical advice on how to approach different types of historical sources, from primary documents to secondary literature. Overall, An Outline of Method in History is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of history, providing a clear and concise guide to the methods and principles of historical research and writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
