Text Appearing Before Image:
vor to extort the truth, by put-ting two female slaves to the torture, who were said toofficiate in their religious rites, but all I could discoverwas evidence of an absurd and extravagant superstition.Again we are reminded that a new time is dawning. Of Plinys last days we hear nothing. In his letters toTrajan there is no allusion to a return to Rome. It issimply inferred that he died in his Asiatic province, orpresently after his arrival in Italy.

Moreobvious is the comparison with his chief classical rival,Thukydides : for each of these two recorded, in memorableform, what he regarded, no doubt with much truth, as thedownfall, almost the suicide, of his own people. TheAthenian author excels in self-control, apparent impartial-ity, energy in seeking data at first hand, even in states-manlike breadth of view. In vividness, quickness oftouch, withering power of cynical analysis, i
