Buckle, Henry Thomas History of Civilization in England. from the Second London Edition to Which is Added an Alphabetical Index.
New York D. Appleton and Co. , 1903 Hard Cover
2 volumes (677 and 476 pages) , cloth, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. First published in 1857 and 1861. One of the important early works to use the scientific method of writing history. From the Columbia Encyclopedia: "Henry Thomas Buckle, 1821–62, English historian. Contemptuous of the historical writing of his day, with its intense concern with politics, wars, and heroes, Buckle undertook the ambitious plan of writing a history of civilization, treating people in relation to each other and to the natural world. At the time of his death, he had completed only the first two volumes of his panoramic History of Civilization in England (1857–61). In his attempt to make his field a science, Buckle arrived at various “laws” of history (e. G. , the law of climate, by which he demonstrated that only in Europe could humans reach high levels of civilization) that were in fact rationalizations of his own progressive and liberal views. The effect his book had in shaping English liberal thought was nonetheless immediate and huge. It profoundly influenced later scientific historians and helped to fasten attention on masses rather than individuals, on all life rather than politics, and on the interrelations of people and nature rather than people and morals.
