Excerpt from The New History: Essays Illustrating the Modern Historical Outlook
All of the essays in this volume, with the exception of the fourth, have been printed before, as addresses or contributions to periodicals. They have, however, not only been carefully revised, but have been adjusted so as to give as much coherence as possible to the collection. They all illustrate, each in its particular way, the conception of "the new history" developed in the first essay.
In No. I, I borrow portions from an article on "Popular Histories and their Defects" which appeared in the now defunct International Monthly, July, 1900, but have made a new use of them. The second paper was originally prepared as one in a series of non-technical lectures delivered at Columbia University in 1908 and published by the Columbia University Press. With it has been combined portions from a paper on "The New History" read before the Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, April 22, 1911. No. III was read before the American Historical Association, December, 1910, and printed in the Journal of Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Method, March 16, 1911, where No. VIII also appeared on May 11 of the same year.
