699p Such at any rate is the purpose of this volume. The reader will find in it plenty of descriptions, narratives, images , developments, regular patterns and breaks in those patterns - but from start to finish I have tried to refrain from the urge to describe everything, for the mere pleasure of drawing a picture, underlining a point or directing attention to a telling detail . I have simply tried to see th ings and to present them in such a way as to understand, that is to verify. But I have done so with some insistence, suspecting that only here, in the front line as it were of the endeavour, could my own research, and indeed the trade of historian itself, be justified.
