The Limits Of Exact Science As Applied To History: An Inaugural Lecture is a book written by Charles Kingsley and published in 1860. The book is a transcript of Kingsley's inaugural lecture as Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. In the lecture, Kingsley argues that history cannot be studied using the same methods as the natural sciences, as history deals with human beings, who are inherently unpredictable and complex. Kingsley also discusses the importance of understanding the social, cultural, and political context of historical events. The book provides a fascinating insight into the Victorian era's approach to history and the limitations of scientific methods in studying human behavior. Kingsley's ideas were influential in shaping the discipline of history and remain relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
