Présentation de l'éditeur
The former edition of this little work was called The Wallet Book of the Roman Wall. This designation not being generally understood, the more common one of Hand-book has now been adopted. The Romans were not only great Conquerors but they were wise and politic Governors. They brought all the nations of the then known world into unity, and spread the blessings of order and civilization to the very ends of the earth. The people of England are in this respect, the successors of the Romans. Through their instrumentality vast continents, of the existence of which Caesar never dreamt, have obtained the advantage of a well organized government; their rude inhabitants have been induced to engage in the pursuits of peaceful industry; and the blessings of Christianity have been pressed upon their oattention.
