"Se em tempos mais modernos e mais civilizados houvera vivido e escrito, não teríamos por certo que invejar às outras nações nenhum dos seus historiadores".

De Gomes Eanes de Azurara, cronista que sucedeu Fernão Lopes, diz o biógrafo: "Louva-se em Azurara, e de louvar talvez é, a sinceridade bravia com que lança em rosto aos heróis, cujas façanhas escreve, os defeitos que tiveram, os erros e culpas em que caíram.

"Onde quer que apareça a censura, onde quer que se aninhe esta irmã gêmea da inquisição, há uma quebra nos foros da independência do homem, há uma insolência do passado contra a dignidade social da geração presente.

O ensaio, aqui editado, de Alexandre Herculano, é evidentemente anacrônico, porém recheado de argumentos que, em última instância, permitem ao leitor uma boa reflexão sobre o tema!
