Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Romans Under the Empire, Vol. 5 Even when their conquests extended far and wide over islands and continents, Rome and Athens, Syra cuse and Sparta, still continued, unlike England and France, Russia and Turkey, in modern times, to be the names of cities, rather than of countries; all political privileges centred in them, and flowed thence with slow and measured pace to the more favoured of their subject communities. It is to this principle of their polity that we owe much of the intense national life, the deep-marked lines of national character, of faith, manners, and opinions, which severally distinguished them, and which seem to have received their form and pressure from the mould of the city walls in which they were first fused together. We have seen, however, in the last chapter, how the exclusive pretensions of the great est of these conquering cities were eventually modi fied by the exigencies of a wide extended sovereignty. The Roman empire claims at last, the first 111 civil ized antiquity, to be considered as in itself apolitical body, independent of its connexion with Rome, the residence of its chief governor. Our history becomes a review of the affairs of a vast unit, the aggregate of a multitude of smaller members, the sum of many combined elements. The title axed to it, the History of the Romans rather than of Rome, may serve to mark this important feature in its character; and accordingly it seemed most fitting to commence our survey of the condition of the Roman people under Augustus with a general view of the empire itself, and the social and political hands by which it was held together and compacted into one system. I have reserved for a second chapter the more Special examination of the features of the illustrious city from which it must still derive its chief interest, as Well as its celebrated name.

The manners and morals, the ideas and sentiments of mankind, at the highest stage of heathen development, their laws and institutions, their spiritual aspirations, the fall of Paganism, and the rise of Christianity, -these are the subjects upon which we are next to enter. I judge that two more volumes will suffice to embrace the whole sphere of the imperial civilization but the labour required will be out of all proportion to the space to be filled, and with such an amount of leisure as I can hope to com mand, a considerable period must be expected to elapse before they can make their appearance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 2 of 5 The unfortunate Licinius was the last rival who opposed the greatness, and the last captive who adorned the triumph, of Constantine. After atranquil and prosperous reign, the conqueror bequeathed to his family the inheritance of the Roman empire; a new capital, a new policy, and a new religion; and the innovations which he established have been embraced and consecrated by succeeding generations. The age of the great Constantine and his sons is filled with impor tant events; but the historian must be Oppressed by their number and variety, unless he diligently separates from each other the scenes which are connected only by the order of time. He will describe the political institutions that gave strength and stability to the empire, before he proceeds to relate the wars and revolutions which hastened its decline. He will adopt the division unknown to the ancients of civil and ecclesiastical affairs the victory of the Christians, and theirmtestine discord, will supply copious and distinct mate rials bo'th for edification and for scandal.
