A J Toynbee, "A Study of History", 1935.

What Toynbee was praising was ibn Khaldun's incredible way of thinking about civilisations and society - what we now call sociology. He was not content to describe history, he attempted to understand and define historical processes, which was an amazing breakthrough.
