Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 9 Two years ago, I had the honour to attempt, in addressing you, to answer the questions how far Thucydides was of value to the modern statesman. I have recently been re-reading Herodotus, not precisely with a view to answer the same question in reference to him, but still not without keeping it, to some extent, before my mind. I purpose accordingly, this afternoon, to lay before you some of the consideration which have occurred to me with regard to his famous Enquiries; for ´Enquiries´ or ´Researches,´ rather than Histories, ought perhaps to be the English rendering of the title of his famous book. First then it has struck me, that, while the fullest justice is done to his powers as a narrator, too little account is taken of the comments on life and affairs which are scattered through his pages. Two accusations are frequently brought against him, which tend more or less to neutralize each other. One set of critics says that he devotes too much attention to anecdotes or striking stories, and another that he allows his views of events to be too much coloured by his philosophy.
