The reader will find in this Tolume an order of arrangement similar to that adopted inT lie Early History of Greece. The same grouping of legendary events followed bv a gradual emancipation from the dominion of fiction will be fotind to characterize our historr of the progressing power of Eome. The historical deductions drawn from these sourcts. and firmly established as tacts by the researches of Kiebuhr, A rnold, and other illustricus scholars, will, it is hoped, be found collated with a perspicuity con5istent with the plan of this work. AT err comprehensive account of Sicilv in connection with Carthage, and their subsequent connection withE ome, displaying the resources and poH tical tendencies of the great African Eepublio. and thereby conveying jusr notions of the vast power which the ambition of Eome encountered and subdued, is next presented to the reader. The noble treatises on the First andS econd Punic Wars, fit)m the pen of the lamented Dr. A rnold, and his Introductory Essay upon The Credibilitv of Early Eoman Historv. greatly enhance the value of this portion of the work: while the masterly sketch of theE xternal Advancement of theE oman Empire, the lives of the Gracchi, and of ComeK usS vE a, by the same distinguished scholar, leave nothing to be desired in dignitv of treatment or ia vigorous research. The contributions of Sir T. X. Talfourd and other celebrated writers, whose names adorn the work, will be found equal to the importance of their subiects.
