[1187] Aus. _Prof._ xxvi. 3: _Historia_ si quos vel poeticus stylus, Forumve fecit nobiles. This seems to indicate that history was conceived of as a separate subject. [1188] _Protrep._ 61.

Wilamowitz’ Oxford lecture on Greek historical writing (trans. G. Murray, p. 4). ‘The ancients were even further from a genuine science of history than from a genuine science of nature.... The method of historical research which we regard as an imperative duty is scarcely a century old.... And yet ... the first thing is to recognise that all our historical writing rests on foundations laid by the Greeks, as absolutely as does all our natural science.’ [1193] _Ep._ xx. (title).
