Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Source Studies on the French Revolution: The Royal Session of June 23, 1789
If the work is properly conducted, the training is severe and valuable. Few students have the slightest conception of what proof means in history, constantly confounding the affirmation of a single witness with the fact established by the agreement of witnesses. Fewer yet understand how to make the narrative re?ect the character of the evidence upon which it is based. It is the business of the instructor'to make these things clear by specific examples and to insist that the student shall show in his own work that he understands what the critical, careful investi gation of a historical topic means.
