"Although his making religion the sole factor of this evolution was a perversion of the historical facts, the book was so consistent throughout, so full of ingenious ideas, and written in so striking a style, that it ranks as one of the masterpieces of the French language in the 19th century."

Why would this be a "perversion of the historical facts"?

"Fustel de Coulanges was the most conscientious of men, the most systematic and uncompromising of historians."

This, as well as much of the article, sounds rather biased.

somebody added this little tid-bit "This article is ludicrously reverential. If the author wrere still alive it would be called brown-nosing."

It should probably be removed but the article does need to be toned-down a little.199.76.188.135 (talk)
