"It would be pleasant to follow in greater detail than is possible here the steps of the Greek History toward popularity and authority.  There is for instance a letter by Auguste Comte promising to read it in order to find confirmation of his own theories, though in obedience to mental hygiene he was no longer reading books."

--Arnaldo Momigliano
