摘要：
One Oxford student who was influenced hy [James E. Thorold] Rogers, was Henry de Beltgens Gibbins [1865-1907] of Wadham college. After his second in Greats [1887], Gibbins, who became a school master; published some of the first school textbooks in economic history. Oxford historians found his work distinctly unimpressive.... Ashley regarded him a pushing junior and found his book ''dreadfully poor.''... Most economic historians who had been trained as historians, tended to question the relevance of economic theory in the explanation of history. Economists interested in history might assign greater importance to economic theory as a means of interpreting history but they rarely adopted the pessimist view of social history. As the gap between the two approaches grew, it became clearer that Gibbins belonged to neither.
