Herodotus, [In his preface, the author, Fellow of St John's College and Public Orator in the University of Cambridge, writes on how lecturing and writing are different operations, and that the endeavour to combine them helps a man to understand in a new way the art of Herodotus who triumphed over this difficulty.
