J.B. Bury stated that 'History is a science, no less, no more'. He considered history to be a data bank established and verified by research techniques. Freeman, Green and Stubbs, the 'Oxford school' of historians stressed the scientific nature of historical research. They insisted on writing history for its own sake, independent of religious, political or moral aims.
History is a scientific study of the past. It is not written on the basis of rumours or just by probing. Just like science believes in evidences, history is based on primary or secondary sources. A popular saying among the historians is, 'No documents, no history'.
