Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Italy: From the Fall of the Western Empire, to the Commencement of the Wars of the French Revolution
Europe during the middle ages, it is impossible to speak without praise. But it is obvious that minute ness of historical details is altogether incompatible with the limits and intention of such a sketch and the middle ages are only a part of our subject. Besides, Mr. Hallam's elegant province has been rather to allude to facts for general deductions, than to state them in measured narrative and some previous acquaintance with Italian history is necessary, before the value of his re?ections can be appreciated.
