The Historical Criticism Of Documents (1920)

The Historical Criticism of Documents is a scholarly work written by Richard Lucas Marshall and first published in 1920. The book explores the principles and methods of historical criticism, which is the practice of analyzing historical documents to determine their authenticity and accuracy. Marshall's work is divided into three main sections: the first section provides an overview of the history of historical criticism and its development over time; the second section discusses the various types of documents that historians use in their research, including manuscripts, inscriptions, and printed materials; and the third section focuses on the practical application of historical criticism in the analysis of specific documents. Throughout the book, Marshall emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and careful analysis in historical research, and provides numerous examples of how historical criticism can be used to shed light on the past. The Historical Criticism of Documents is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the study of history and the interpretation of historical documents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
