Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 It was a very famous place, the Forum; and I have said this much about it in order that you may have some picture of it in your eye when you hear it mentioned in this history. There were many temples at Rome, but as they long ago crumbled into dust, we know little or no thing about them. There was an aqueduct, called the Appian Aqueduct after its builder, an old Ro man named Aprwe claudius, about whom there were many famous stories. This aqueduct brought water to the city from a source eight miles off. And there was a great drain, which, I think, was the most wonderful work of ancient Rome. People said it had been built by an old king of Rome, whose name was servius tullius, two hundred years ago and more: any how, it was very old, and so wide that a cart and horse could drive through it, and so strong that it does its duty still, and not a stone of it has mouldered away. I wonder how our drains will look two thousand years hence! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 2 of 4 The Semitic stock occupied a place amidst, and yet The mm, aloof from, the nations of the ancient classical cm world. The true centre of the former lay in the East, that of the latter in the region of the Mediterra nean and, however wars and migrations may have altered the line of demarcation and thrown the races across each other, a deep sense of diversity has always severed, and still severs, the indo-germanic peoples from the Syrian, Israelite, and Arabic nations. This diversity was no less marked in the case of that Semitic people, which spread more than any other in the direction of the west - the Phoenicians. Their native seat was the narrow border of coast bounded by Asia Minor, the highlands of Syria, and Egypt, and called Canaan, that is, the plain. This was the only name which the nation itself made use of even in Christian times the African farmer called himself a Canaan ite. But Canaan received from the Hellenes the name of Phoenike, the land of purple, or land of the red men, and the Italians also were accustomed to call the Canaanites Punians, as We are accustomed still to speak of them as the Phoenician or Punic race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's First History of Rome Another consequence of the present temper of the public, is a flood of fictitious works designed. For the perusal of the young. In these works, a series of imaginary facts is made a vehicle to con vey moral and religious information, Such facts, of course, beyond their immediate use, possess no value; and it may be seriously questioned, whether the lessons-they convey, wanting, as they do, the authority which real facts impart, possess more. Be this as it may, all must admit that these lessons make, but a slight impres sionna the feelings and memory in comparison with the interest awakened by the incidents of the story nand its progress to the catastrophe; while the distaste thus engendered for less exciting though infinitely more useful reading, 1s a positive injury for which they offer no equivalent or compensation Whatever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 This little book was written and published several years ago, and has been read by many who are now men and women. In it I tried to tell the story of a nation from which we borrowed much of our learning and our law and our letters and our manliness. Like the history of most ancient nations, that story begins with legend and fable, which, though not actually true, still show you what manner of men the old Romans were. Out of the mist of the fable grew a brave, patient, big-hearted nation, which rose in power till its eagles flew over three continents, and its schools garnered into their fold nearly all the science and wisdom of ancient times; then, fainting from excess of empire and wealth, its grasp relaxed and it fell to pieces, which lay buried for a thousand years in the gloom of ignorance and superstition. In this new edition of the child's history I have added a few lines here and there in order that you shall understand the story without too much labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 2 After Rome had acquired the undisputed mastery of the world, the Greeks were wont to annoy their Roman masters by the assertion that Rome was indebted for her greatness to the fever of which Alexander of Macedonia died at Babylon on the 11th of June, 431. As it was not too agreeable for them to reflect on the actual past, they were fond of allowing their thoughts to dwell on what might have happened, had the great king turned his arms - as was said to have been his intention at the time of his death - towards the west and contested the Carthaginian supremacy by sea with his fleet, and the Roman supremacy by land with his phalanxes. It is not impossible that Alexander may have cherished such thoughts; nor is it necessary to resort for an explanation of their origin to the mere difficulty which an autocrat, who is fond of war and is well provided with soldiers and ships, experiences in setting limits to his warlike career.
