Excerpt from The Fall of Jerusalem: And the Roman Conquest of Judea
Within moderate limits, while, it is hoped, preserving its most salient points. It is here preceded, moreover, by a rapid summary of the events which culminated in this one supreme event, and followed by a brief narrative of the final subjugation of J udaaa. In the main it is founded upon Josephus; but some illustrative particulars have been gathered from other sources, and recourse has also been had to the modern works of Merivale and Milman.
