'No one has yet written a history of the history textbook, but there is a growing realisation that it is a subject which demands to be studied. Of History as an educational subject it may be said, as the philosopher Kant once said of Philosophy, "Is is to carry the torch or bear the train?" Is it to give light to the pupils who search for truth, to teach them, in fact how truth may be found, or is it to be used to support some doctrine, an economic doctrine perhaps, or, as is so often the case nowadays, an unreasoning belief in the exclusive virtue or a national or racial group?' - Robert Birley, in the Foreword.
