A guide to historical method

by Robert Jones Shafer

The beginning researcher, following the suggestions of this Guide, and of appropriate reference works, may certainly help to attain clarity of expression; in addition, with much practice, and possibly the help of God, he may aspire to achieve some day that style which Edmund Wilson defined as a combination of "lucidity, force, and grace."

Clear, not too complex or detailed, but certainly sufficient to get started, or to use when midway through, a research project.
