  Barthold Georg Niebuhr - LoveToKnow 1911
BARTHOLD GEORG NIEBUHR (1776-1831), German statesman and historian, son of Karsten Niebuhr, was born at Copenhagen on the 27th of August 1776.
From the earliest age young Niebuhr manifested extraordinary precocity, and from 1794 to 1796, being already a finished classical scholar and acquainted with several modern languages, he studied at the university of Kiel.
Niebuhr's Roman History counts among epoch-making histories both as marking an era in the study of its special subject and for its momentous influence on the general conception of history.

Niebuhr recognized that Herodotos presents scientific data and speaks in scientific terms, but these would be mere quackery because Herodotos was a pretender who tried to ape the scientific style that was being born in Greece at the time.
Niebuhr and the historians of the critical school would like to transfer to historical science the method of induction advocated for the natural sciences by positivist empiricists.
Niebuhr asserted that Herodotos' account of the Persian campaign is based upon an epic poem of Choirilos of Samos which built a grandiose and picturesque legend around rather modest events.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.01.05
To the general public, Sir George Cornewall Lewis (1806-1863) is nowadays known only, if at all, as a leading British statesman, a liberal Member of Parliament (1847-1852, 1855-1863) who from 1855 to his death served successively as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary and Secretary for War.
In this work he took critical issue with Niebuhr's Roman History, which in his view showed the virtues of the new German classical scholarship with respect to source criticism but also its vices with regard to replacing the doubtful accounts of the ancient sources with bold speculations.
Or, as Lewis had put it in a review essay on George Grote in 1850: "The general character of the most eminent German writers on antiquity is, that they are sceptical as to received facts, but credulous as to their own hypotheses, or the favoured hypotheses of some of their own school.

Probably, for the greater part of the period of three centuries which elapsed between Gaius and Justinian, the Institutes of the former had been the familiar textbook of all students of Roman law.
Unfortunately the work was lost to modern scholars, until, in 1816, a manuscript was discovered by BG Niebuhr in the chapter library of Verona, in which certain of the works of St Jerome were written over some earlier writings, which proved to be the lost work of Gaius.
The greater part of the palimpsest has, however, been deciphered and the text is now fairly complete.

Barthold Georg Niebuhr had a passionate hatred for Philip, in whom, with his vivid conception of history, he saw a parallel to Napoleon, and before Austerlitz published a translation of the first Philippic of Demosthenes, to produce a political effect against the Gallus rebellis, as is shown by the motto he affixed to it.
To reach a just estimate of Philip, historical science had first to be liberated from the Athenian-Demosthenic point of view.
