The American Way of Thinking
March 7, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the books "The Warren-Adams Letters," and "American Revolution," by George Otto Trevelyan. The present was should make it clear, if anything could, that historians miss something by confining their interest to "what actually happened"-or at least to a too narrow definition of what actually happened. It would have been possible four years ago to write in great detail, along strictly conventional lines, what the "trained and scientific historian" would have pronounced an excellent history of modern Germany, and still to miss the very thing which every one now knows, and which every one knows to be precisely the most important thing about modern Germany.
