Even though there is clear evidence that art was once again becoming an instrument of the English historian's toolkit, and in the pages of the specialized English Historical Review no less, the profession continued its boundary work against Froude with varying degrees of success, though ending in ultimate failure. The same could certainly not be said for Henry Thomas Buckle whose presence disappeared from the discipline of history in England almost as soon as the man died of typhoid in 1862. But the violence against Froude's work spanned his entire adult life, continuing into the 1890s and even beyond. His work and method would eventually be vindicated but only well after he passed away when the work of his great scientific contemporaries began to be judged from more critical eyes.
