The Rules of Evidence as Applicable to the Credibility of History (1874) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161921113)

The Rules of Evidence as Applicable to the Credibility of History is a book written by William Forsyth and published in 1874. The book explores the use of evidence in determining the credibility of historical accounts. Forsyth argues that just as legal cases require evidence to establish the truth, historical accounts must also be supported by credible evidence. He discusses the different types of evidence that can be used to support historical claims, including written records, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence. Forsyth also examines the limitations of evidence and the potential for bias and error in historical accounts. The book is considered an important contribution to the field of historiography and has influenced the study of history and the use of evidence in historical research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
