Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire It is stated on the title-page that the researches of recent commentators upon the Decline and Fall of the Roman Em pire are incorporated in the text of the present work. These additions are taken from my own notes and from those of Dean Milman and M. Guizot, inserted in the edition of the original work published in 1854-1855.

Download or read book A History of Rome Classic Reprint written by Alexander Falconer Giles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Rome Roman history is the history of a state, rather than of a people or a country. It advances somewhat in the manner of a widening series of concentric circles; first a single city among a group of kindred communities in the Latin plain bounded by the Tiber, the Sabine and Volscian hills, and the Tuscan sea; then a united Latin power, with the city of Rome as its head then a power embracing the whole of Italy, and extending its control over the Mediterranean coast-lands; and, finally, a world-empire, including within its citizenship a great variety of races, united in a common allegiance to the Roman Emperor, and enjoying a common civilisation. In the achievement of this result, which was fully attained by the middle of the third century after Christ, the native Romans took other peoples into partnership with them - their near kindred of the Latin stock first of all; then the other races of Italy, Umbrians, Samnites, Etruscans, and Greeks; and then, by a continuous process of enfranchisement, the inhabitants Of their conquered territories beyond Italy, in Spain, Gaul, the Danubian lands, Greece and the Graecised eastern countries, and northern Africa. All these peoples, in the end, called themselves Romans, and shared in the benefits and the burdens of the Roman civilisa tion: thus about the middle of the first century AD we find S. Paul, by descent a Jew, by nativity a Cilician of Tarsus, claiming the liberties and privileges of a Roman citizen as his birthright. Many of the greatest names in the latter parts of the history are those of men who were not Roman by birth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome: Reprinted Entire From the Last London Ed It may be thought by some that this volume is written at too great length. But I am convinced, by a tolerably large experience, that most readers find it almost impossible to impress on their memory a mere abridgment of history the number of names and events crowded into a small spaceis overwhelming to them, and the absence of details in the narrative makes it impossible to communicate to it much of interest; neither characters nor events can be developed with that particularity which is the best help to the memory, because it attracts and engages us, and impresses images on the mind as well as facts. At the same time I am well aware of the great difficulty of giving liveliness to a narrative which necessarily gets all its facts at second-hand. A: d a writer who has never been engaged in any public transactions, either of peace or war, must feel this especially. One who is himself a states man and orator, may relate the political contests even of remote ages with something of the Spirit Of a contemporary; for his own experience realizes to him, in great measure, the scenes and the characters which he is describing. And, in like manner, a soldier or a seaman can enter fully into the great deeds of ancient warfare; for, although in out ward form ancient battles and sieges may differ from those of modern times, yet the genius of the general and the courage of the soldier, the call for so many of the highest qualities of our nature which constitutes the enduring moral interest of war, are common alike to all times, and he who has fought under Wellington has been in Spirit an eye-witness of the campaigns of Hannibal. But a writer whose whole experience has been confined to private life and to peace, has no link to connect him with the actors and great deeds of ancient history, except the feel ings of our common humanity. He cannot realize civil contests or battles with the vividness of a statesman and a soldier; he can but, enter into them as a man; and his general knowledge of human nature, his love of great and good actions, his sympathy with virtue, his abhor rence of vice, can alone assist him in making himself, as it were, a wit ness of what he attempts to describe. But these even by themselves will do much; and if an historian feels as a man and as a citizen, there is hope that, however humble his experience, he may inspire his readers with something of his own interest in the events of his history he may hepe, at least, that a full detail of these events, however zfeebly represented, will be worth far more than a mere brief summary of them, made the text for a long comment of his own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Foundation of the City of Rome, to the Destruction of the Western Empire There are some subjects on which a writer must decline all attempts to acquire fame, satis fied with being obscurely useful. After such a number of Roman Histories, in all languages, ancient and modern, it would be but imposture to pretend new discoveries, or to expect to offer any thing in a work of this kind, which has not been often anticipated by others. The facts which it relates have'been a hundred times repeated, and every occurrence has been so variously considered, that learning can scarce find a new anecdote, or genius give novelty to the old.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Foreign Affairs, and Kirkus Reviews Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award (Nonfiction) Shortlisted for the Cundill Prize in Historical Literature Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) A San Francisco Chronicle Holiday Gift Guide Selection A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection A sweeping, "magisterial" history of the Roman Empire from one of our foremost classicists shows why Rome remains "relevant to people many centuries later" (Atlantic). In SPQR, an instant classic, Mary Beard narrates the history of Rome "with passion and without technical jargon" and demonstrates how "a slightly shabby Iron Age village" rose to become the "undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Hailed by critics as animating "the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life" (Economist) in a way that makes "your hair stand on end" (Christian Science Monitor) and spanning nearly a thousand years of history, this "highly informative, highly readable" (Dallas Morning News) work examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries. With its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goldsmith's Roman History: Abridged by Himself; For the Use of Schools The reasons of my choice were, that no history of this splendid period in our language, but what was either too voluminous for common use, or too meanly written to please. Catron and Rouille's History, in six volumes folio, transla ted into our language by Bundy, is entirely un suited to the time and expense mankind usually, chuse to bestow upon this subject Rollin, and his continuator Crevier, making above thirty vo lumes octavo, seem to labour under the same putation as likewise Hooke, who has spent three quartos upon the republic alone, the rest of his. undertaking remaining unfinishedflt There only.' therefore remained the History by Echard, in. Five volumes octavo, whose plan and mine seem' ed to coincide; and, had his execution been: equal to his design, it had precluded the present; undertaking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Rome, Vol. 4 IN presenting to my readers the fourth volume of this translation - corresponding to the third volume of Professor Mommsen's work, and embracing the period from the death of Sulla to the battle of Thapsus, beyond which Dr. Mommsen has not as yet proceeded - I have to express my regret that so long a delay has taken place in its pre paration. Important duties of another kind, to which I was called after completing the third volume, rendered it necessary that I should defer for a time the further proseou tion of the work, and occasioned much interruption to its progress after I had resumed it. But I considered it due to those who had so favourably received the earlier volumes of my translation that I should endeavour personally to com plete it and I can only cast myself on their indulgence if I have somewhat unduly taxed their patience.
