Abstract
When in 1903 Bury made his much discussed inaugural speech on the science of history it elicited sharp reaction, particularly from G.M. Trevelyan. Only once, however, did Bury answer his critics, and then only by intimating that the intent of his message had been distorted.1
The decade of the 1890’s has a special importance in the history of historical scholarship in Great Britain. (H. Butterfield)
