One duty that was always incumbent on the historian has now become a duty of deeper significance and stronger obligation. Truth, and Truth only, is our aim. We are bound as historians to examine and record facts without favor or affection to our own nation or to any other.

Lord Bryce,

Presidential Address, at the
International Congress of Historical Studies, 1913
