| Summary | "History of Civilization in England, Vol. 1 of 3" by Henry Thomas Buckle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore the evolution of human societies in England, examining the interplay of mental and physical laws that govern human actions. Through systematic analysis, Buckle seeks to present history as shaped by both the influences of nature and the developments of the human mind. The opening of the work introduces Buckle's framework for understanding history. He asserts that human actions are dictated by both mental and physical laws, advocating for their study to accurately interpret historical events. This section outlines the resources and methodologies he believes historians should employ to investigate history effectively. Buckle also emphasizes that without a grounding in natural sciences, a comprehensive history cannot be written, setting the stage for a broader analysis of civilized life in England.
