Reports exist of other near-eastern histories, such as that composed by the Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon; but his very existence is considered semi-fabled and writings attributed to him are fragmentary, known only through the later historians Philo of Byblos and Eusebius, who asserted that he wrote before even the Trojan war.
Others argue that the Biblical search for an underlying cause of historical events is itself a characteristic of historiographical research, and point moreover to the Bible's frequent recourse to double-causation, whereby events are attributed to both human and divine causation.

Thus, the first historiographer of the Age of Liberty, Jacob Wilde, raised concerns when he in a projected Historia Pragmatica boldly set out to refute the idea of divine kings.
Another striking sign of the radical character of the transfer of political power, as well as of the centrality of history in the exercise of that power, is the way in which public offices were renamed, including that of the official historiographer.
The change of title effectively reflected the radical change in politics: bureaucratic loyalty to the crown had been replaced by loyalty to the nation, specifically to its representation in the Estates.

James's career continued to expand and blossom when, during the final years of William IV's reign, he was appointed Historiographer Royal.
This post not only increased James's professional career, leading him to write historical texts as well as novels, but it also widened his social sphere, giving him connections with members of the aristocracy such as the Duke of Wellington.
James's influence as a writer may seem minimal to contemporary literary scholars, but in the 19th century, among both casual readers and leading writers, he was quite reknown.

In the Introduction, Appian the historiographer is the main topic of concern.
These ellipses are accompanied by two outright mistranslations; the elephantôn deka of 46.189 become "three elephants" on the opposite page, presumably from confusion with the elephantas treis of 46.193, while enakischilious at 56.237 is rendered as "six thousand", presumably from confusion with the hexakischilious at 56.234.
This practice is very helpful, since it throws a welcome light upon Appian's recurring themes and concerns as a historiographer.

 JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY VOLUME XXVI
Michael J. O’Brien, Historiographer of the American Irish Historical Society, in regard to Irish emigration to America, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is deserving of all praise.
He has amassed and presented in attractive form a remarkable array of facts in his wonderful book, “A Hidden Phase of American History,” as also in his researchful articles in the Journal of the Society, facts that are indisputable and that serve, incidentally, to kill the “Scotch-Irish” myth.
And since these emigrants were comprised largely of the young, and they left their native land with no love for the oppressor, these facts serve to support the proofs already presented by your Historiographer, that the Irish must have had an important part in the achievement of American independence.
