Book excerpt: Excerpt from Footprints of the World's History, From the Dawn of Civilization to the Present Time The criticism which Professor Bury, the latest and by far the best annotator of Gibbon, makes of the author of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the effect that he had no idea of writing history for history's sake, is applicable to the vast majority of historians. They have been advocates rather than judges. They have made special pleas to the great jury fit the reading public instead of stating the facts and the bearing of the evidence.
