According to Louis Gottschalk 1950 from the book of Understanding
History“Beginning with a concerned with writing history himself but wishing to acquire standar
ds of judging historical writing, have also been constantlly
kept in mind.Ithas been assumed throughout that the reader has profounder love than knowledge
of history but sufficient knowledge to manage without a trained guide. If this assumption has led
occasionally to elaboration of the obvious on the one hand and oversimplification of the complex
on the other, it is intentionally so. This work is addressed to the beginner and the amateur”.
