Excerpt from Studies in Historical Method
There are many people who, perhaps, without being ambitious to write books or become college professors, would like to be careful and special students and teachers of the subject of history. For them I write, and especially for the teacher who wishes to special ize his work, and to see the world from this particular point of view. For as the material world grows smaller, and time and space condense, our intellectual world grows greater, its points of view become more numerous, more unobstructed, and so much more extensive, that in order to have any point of view at all, or get on top of the earth in any direction, we must choose some particular height as our own; do the best we can, it will take a good part of life to attain any high outlook.
