A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The Hellenes, who settled the Grecian peninsula, and the Latins, who peopled Italy, were from the same old Indo-European stock. The former represented the literary and artistic power of the race, the latter its ruling energy. The one sounded the depth of philosophy, delighted in discussion, found inexhaustible sources of pleasure in public games and in the drama, transported the marble from Pentelicus to Athens, and transformed it into forms of grace and beauty; the other loved physical strength, the march and struggle and triumph of great armies, the building up of empire, the subjection of foreign powers, and the enactment and execution of laws for its own and for other people. The rulers proved more than a match for their elegant and cultured cousins. The sword was mightier than pen or chisel, and the Acropolis bowed to the Capitolinus. First with the sword, and afterward with the more powerful arms of religious faith, Eome ruled a large portion of the European wTorld for centuries. The history of this great empire is especially interesting to the Christian student.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
