Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Continental Towns
The story of Rome is a mighty chronicle of such deep importance towards an understanding of the growth of Europe, that a feeling almost of helplessness assails me as I essay to set down in this limited space an account of the city's ancient grandeur and of its monuments. It is with a sense of awe that one enters Rome. The scene gives birth to so much re?ection, the pulse quickens, the imagination is stirred by the annals of Pompey and Caesar, and the mighty names that resound in the history of the wonder ful capital; while the ruins of the days of power and pomp are as solemn tokens of the fate of all great civilisations.
