Were it to become widespread political theory would destroy itself: it would lose its interest to the lay mind and much of its claim to educational usefulness. That it may not be alone in running this risk is suggested by some remarks of the Regius Professor of Modern History, who is reported as having said, in his recent inaugural lecture at Oxford, that classical scholars had killed the classics and that, unless we take heed, there is a danger that philosophers may kill philosophy, philologists literature, and historians history.
