Book Description
Excerpt from Syllabus of Lectures on European History Notebook - For this purpose a large stiff-backed note-book with a page at least inches, is the best. Take notes on the right hand page only, leaving the left-hand one free for making further notes, quotations, etc., from the books referred to. Notes should be taken in ink, in neat and plain form, with analysis clearly indicated. In taking these notes from books, however, care should be taken not to spend too much time in changing printed matter into poor penman ship. I often find students wasting time in this. Forceful statements of principles should be taken, and catchwords to aid the mind used, rather than transcripts made Of whole pages. The practice Of associating the statements Of the chief authorities with the outline in hand will prove better than over-copying. On the other hand, the student should always read with note-book in hand and Syllabus by his side, the one to receive the sparks and suggestions, the other to aid in classifying the knowledge gained.
