Abstract
The student writing a book report for a Freshman English course is doing on a small scale and with a single source the same thing [i.e., writing a historical report] as the president of a corporation who prepares his annual report to the stockholders, or as the President of the United States when, with the aid of all his departments, he reports to the people on the state of the Union. Scope and purpose will of course differ, and this affects the worth of the report as a historical record. But the general form and the devices employed are identical in all three. -Jacques Barzun and Henry F. Graff, The Modern Researcher, rev. ed. (New York, 1970), 4.
