Project Gutenberg 2008-04-18 Public domain in the USA. 451 Rhodes, James Ford 1848 1927 Historical Essays Produced by Ted Garvin, David Wilson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Historical Essays" by James Ford Rhodes is a collection of historical essays written during the early 20th century. The essays draw upon Rhodes's insights into the writing of history, the profession of historians, and the significance of historical narratives. This compilation serves as a reflection on the methods of historical investigation and the way history intertwines with literature, culture, and the human experience. At the start of the work, the author presents a preface where he acknowledges the collaborative efforts involved in producing the essays. He discusses the theme of history as an enduring subject of interest, emphasizing the need for fresh perspectives while recognizing the discipline's foundational figures. Rhodes articulates the qualifications for writing history and highlights the balance between meticulous research and engaging narrative. His examination includes references to notable historians from antiquity, such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Tacitus, as well as the evolving role of historians in contemporary society, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the historical profession and its methodologies.
