Excerpt from Six Centuries of Work and Wages: A History of English Labor The failure to do this has been the supreme vice of most economic discussion. Economic truth finds her greatest foes not in absolute errors but in half-truths. By a judicious selection of their facts, writers, and sometimes even able scholars, have appeared to make history teach what they would. But such use of history is not history, but the prostitution of history to party zeal. Its offspring are but bastard children, though sometimes you may find them in court circles and high places of the aristocracy of letters. We need all the facts.

James Edwin Thorold Rogers was born at West Meon, Hampshire on 23 March 1823, the eleventh son of George Vining Rogers, a surgeon, and Mary Anne Blyth.
He was educated at King's College, London, and Magdalen Hall, Oxford.
After taking a first-class degree in 1846, he was ordained, and was for a few years a curate in Oxford.
Simultaneously' with these occupations he had been diligently studying economics, with the result that in 1859 he was appointed professor of statistics and economic science at King's College, London, a post which he filled till his death.
From 1862 to 1867 he also held the position of Drummond professor of political economy at Oxford.
During that period he published (in 1866) the first two volumes of his History of Agriculture and Prices in England, dealing with the period 1259-1400, a minute and masterly record of the subject, and the work upon which his reputation mainly rests.
In 1868 he published a Manual of Political Economy, and in 1869 an edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
In 1875 he collected and edited the Protests of the Lords.
In 1888, on the death of Professor Bonamy Price, who had succeeded him at Oxford as professor of political economy, he was re-elected to the post, and held it till his death.
As an economist, Thorold Rogers did much to promote the historical study of his subject.
He was, however, apt to be guided too frequently by political prejudice, and the value of his work suffered from his aggressively contentious spirit.
