The best
acceptable definition of history
is that it is a record of the past
actions of mankind, based on
surviving evidence. It is this a record of
evidence that the historian the present a record of the
a record of
employs to chronicle and a record of actions of past action of

arrives at conclusions which he of mankind based on on surviving
a country
believes to be valid. Hence, surviving evidence
the historian is referred to as an evidence

on an analysis of the general
causes, comparing their stages
of evolution with the patterns
of revolution in other countries.

The historian
does not seek to attain the same
kind of results as the scientist,
who can verify his conclusions
by repeating his experiment
under controlled conditions.
Whilst he also attempts to
classify the phenomena, the
historian is more likely to
consider events in terms of
their uniqueness.

Added to this is
the fact that history is
concerned, fundamentally, with
the lives and actions of men,
and as such, the historians
search for causes is bound to
be relatively subjective, as
compared to that by the
scientist. In essence, however,
historians are agreed and insist
that history should be written
as scientifically as possible and
that the evidence should be
analysed with the same
objective attitude employed by
the scientist when he examines
certain phenomena of nature.
