Neglected Classic Enrique Lerdau It is fashionable nowadays to sneer at Beard and it is true that on individual facts he has been found to be wrong. But if one considers the largely ideological-philosophical approach to history that was current in his day, his book was nothing less than revolutionary.

Brown's attack is unremitting, which is curious since Beard had offered his book in 1913 as "frankly fragmentary," aiming to be suggestive rather than definitive. Nevertheless, Brown carps at Beard, and shoddily, for not having answered all the questions he raised, for not having been entirely consistent, for imperfections of Beard's "historical method," for Beard's frequent reliance on secondary materials, and f. book, "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution".
