I agree with your first paragraph, but that's no typo! I meant the study of the way that history is studied! I think "the study of the study of history" was how I saw it described as an undergraduate, but that was a quarter of a century ago, so maybe not.
Sorry--it is clear now, and I should have thought about it more before posting the comment. I deleted my previous comment, but will paste here the parts that do not include my inattentive error:
The love of the past and the study of the past is a vital antidote to the tendency to take for granted or discard the achievements of the West. The description of the library in the young-adult novel One of a Kind Family takes us back to the meaningful treasure that libraries can be.
