Description
There Are Two Aspects Of History As A Subject. One, Is An Account Of A Significant Past Of Human Activity. What Is Significant Is A Question Of The Present At All Times. Thus A Chronicle Is Different From History Which Is A Living Not Dead Account Of The Past Written By The Trained Historian Located In The Present.
