Description

Excerpt from History Yet a formal distinction at least has of course always been made between history and other branches of liter ature. This is emphasized by Polybius, writing in the second century before Christ. Surely, he says, an historian's obj ect should be not to amaze his readers by a series of thrilling anecdotes, nor should he aim to produce speeches which might have been delivered, nor to study dramatic propriety in detail, like a writer of tragedy. On the contrary, his function is above all to record with fidelity what was actually said or done, no matter how commonplace it may be.
