ABSTRACT
What is to be expected of History. To know History is to control power. The twentieth century is marked by an interest in History, novel not so much by the closeness of its attention to the subject, as by the nature of its expectations from it. It is an age not so much of historical scholasticism, as of the renaissance of History as the record of human behaviour, in the hope that by the study of this record increased control will be gained by men over men’s destinies.
