To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is true even of the paper of an undergraduate. If the space is limited and the treatment of the subject aims to be full, then the scope must be limited to make possible a full and detailed treatment. But this practical limi- tation in the formulation of the results of our re- search, the limitation that announces to us, "You must say what you have to say in five thousand words ; see that you waste none of them," is after all a secondary matter. The primary question is, if we have material ...enough for a paper of ten thousand words and must limit ourselves to five thousand, what shall be retained and what discarded? How shall we discriminate between the essential and the unessential? It is the question of values, the funda- mental question in historical synthesis and the one concerning which there is least agreement among historians today. What is the meaning of the term value in histori- cal construction ? Clearly not the expression of opin- ion as to whether a certain fact or group of facts is good or bad, useful or useless today, but whether the fact or group has any importance for a given syn- thesis and, hence, should form an integral part of it.
