AS HISTORIAN by Herbert Butterfield Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge
This talk is an appreciation of Sir Lewis Namier who died in August last year. Professor Butterfield says that he probably differs from most people who have written about Sir Lewis Namier because he sees Namier's originality not in things that come from the level judgment of a prosaic historian, but in things that arose from passionate depths.
