Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Italy and Her Invaders, Vol. 5
I ought further to warn the general reader (whom as well as the trained historical student I always desire to find among my audience) that there are four chapters in the later of these two volumes, which I cannot expect him to endure with patience. They are the fifth, tenth and fourteenth, dealing with the Lombard Laws, and the thirteenth which describes the oficial machinery of the Exarchate of Ravenna. Perhaps also, if he have not a keen appetite for theo logical controversy, he will do well to leave unread the last chapter of the fifth volume which describes the Istrian schism, important as that schism was in its bearing on the early history of Venice.
