How to Read a Primary Text Sorry!
I can't relocate the URL!
But it was a 5-point heuristic from Bowdoin College:
1. Motives and goals of the author;
2. Argument and strategy she or he uses to achieve those goals;
3. Presuppositions and values (in the text, and our own);
4. Epistemology (evaluating truth content); &
5. Relate to other texts (compare and contrast)

This hypertext version of Brewer's dictionary is drawn from an expanded edition that was published in 1894.
