	Henry Thomas Buckle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry Thomas Buckle (November 24, 1821 - May 29, 1862) was an English historian, author of a History of Civilization.
		The son of Thomas Henry Buckle, a wealthy London merchant and shipowner, he was born at Lee in Kent.
		Buckle either could not or would not define the general concepts with which he worked, such as "civilization", "history", "science", "law", "scepticism", and "protective spirit"; therefore his arguments are often fallacies.

		(1821-1862), English historian, author of the History of Civilization, the son of Thomas Henry Buckle, a wealthy London merchant, was born at Lee, in Kent, on the 24th of November 1821.

		BUCKLE AS A CHESS PLAYER By Charles Tomlinson Henry Thomas Buckle was one of those fortunate individuals who inherit from their parents an ample fortune, and are not ruined by the bequest.
		Buckle's father had intended him to become a partner in his firm, and made him work in the office during some months, to the young man's infinite disgust; but he afterwards admitted that he thus acquired business habits which were of use to him.
		Buckle consented to visit the club in company with the bookseller, and it is needless to add that he beat their best player even, and then gave odds with a similar result.

	Henry Thomas Buckle - first impartial and scientific historian
		Buckle was the "Hari Seldon" of his day, and much fearful anger was directed at him, by elitist establishments ruling the superstitiously chauvinist societies of the time.
		Buckle developed these formulae, or researched buried ones, and they are still true - the evidence is around us in the newspapers and in recent (and future?) history.
		The last of the many instances I have met with is the statement of Professor Jevons that "Buckle referred the character of a nation to the climate and the soil of its abode".

		Buckle is best remembered today for his two-volumes work History of Civilization in England (London, 1857-62), which sought to place historical studies on a firm scientific basis through the application of positivist methodology and theory.
		But whether or not one agrees with his conclusions, Fuchs has provided a major reassessment of Buckle and the development of modern historical writing, and this work should be read with care by all students of historiography.

		Contemptuous of the historical writing of his day, with its intense concern with politics, wars, and heroes, Buckle undertook the ambitious plan of writing a history of civilization, treating people in relation to each other and to the natural world.
		In his attempt to make his field a science, Buckle arrived at various "laws" of history (e.g., the law of climate, by which he demonstrated that only in Europe could humans reach high levels of civilization) that were in fact rationalizations of his own progressive and liberal views.
		It profoundly influenced later scientific historians and helped to fasten attention on masses rather than individuals, on all life rather than politics, and on the interrelations of people and nature rather than people and morals.

		Henry Thomas Buckle (1821-1862) was one of the most colourful and controversial of British historians.

		There was, for instance, a report that it was the perusal of this essay which led the late Miss Sophia Smith to the founding of the women's college bearing her name at Northampton, Massachusetts.
		Buckle illustrates this at some length, and points out that a woman's mind is by its nature deductive and quick; a man's mind, inductive and slow; that each has its value, and that science profoundly needs both.
		And nothing can be finer or truer than the words in which Buckle predicts the benefits that are to come from the intellectual union of the sexes for the work of the future.
