2153 Toward the French Revolution: Europe and America in the Eighteenth Century World, by Louis Gottschalk and Donald Lach (read 11 Jul 1988) This is a rather basic book on the 17th century, which was rather fun reading but I learned not too much new. It was part of my reading material on a vacation trip to the Dakotas, Canada, and Minnesota.
A report of the Committee on Historical Analysis of the Social Science Research Council.
Illuminating discussion of many issues which face the would-be historian.
