A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work was begun some years ago, chiefly for the purpose of imparting to the Upper Forms inS chools some knowledge of the altered aspect which Roman History has assumed. It was laid aside, mainly, because notices appeared of several works written with a similar purpose; and was resumed in accordance with the opinion of friends who had a good right to form a judgment upon the matter. It has imperceptibly assumed larger dimensions, and the character of the book is considerably changed from that which it was originally intended to bear. AH istory of Rome, suited to the wants of general readers of the present day, does not in fact exist, and certainly is much wanted: whether this work will in any way supply the want is for others to say. The task has been executed under some disadvantages. My days were for the most part fully occupied; and what time I had to spare was liable to be broken in upon in many ways. When I came to revise the whole for the Press, I found the efiects of this interrupted labour in various errors and repetitions; and I cannot but fear that much of this original taint may still be detected But I hope, after all deductions, that I may have put into the Readers hand a book in some measure free from the reproach cast by a great living writer upon all compendious Histories, namely, that they are Histories in which nothing of History remains except the Proper Names. The difficulty inseparable from a work of this kind lies in the treatment of theE arly History.
