Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 1: Books I.-XX IN this new English version of the most elegant of the Roman historians the object of the translatorhas been to adhere as closely to the original text as is consistent with the idioms of the respective languages. But while thus providing more especially for the wants of the classical student, he has not been unmindful of the neatness and perspicuity required to satisfy the English reader. There have been several previous translations of our author, but the only one now before the public, or deserv ing of particular mention, is that by Baker, which is un doubtedly a very able performance, and, had it been more faithful, would have rendered any other unnecessary. The edition used for the present translation is that pub lished at Oxford under the superintendence of Travers Twiss, Whose carefully-revised text is by far the 'best ex tant. The few notes and illustrations which the limits of an edition in this popular form permit are chie y confined to the explanation of grammatical difficulties. Historical and antiquarian illustration is now so abundantly supplied by excellent Manuals and Dictionaries, that it has been deemed unnecessary to swell the present volumes by ad ditions in that department.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 6 He appears to have conceived the project of writing his history, immediately upon his settling at Rome; or, perhaps, he came thither for the purpose of collecting the necessary materials for that great work. Augustus appointed him preceptor to his grandson Claudius, afterwards emperor. But he seems not much to have attended to the advantage which might have resulted from so advantageous a connection, and to have occupied himself, entirely, in the composition of his history; parts of which, as they were finished, he read to Augustus and Macanas.

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.

Book excerpt: With stylistic brilliance and historical imagination, the first five books of Livy's monumental history of Rome record events from the foundation of Rome through the history of the seven kings, the establishment of the Republic and its internal struggles, up to Rome's recovery after the fierce Gallic invasion of the fourth century bc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 So much has been written of Rome that it would seem presumptuous to add another book to the literature upon this subject unless there were in it a distinct purpose not found in other volumes. But though scholars have written exhaustively and poets and litterateurs have written charmingly about the seven-hilled city, the tourist will perhaps find use for a book which is not so technical as the former class, and yet more systematic than the latter, - a volume which will tell him of the really important things to be seen in Rome within the limits of a brief visit, - a something not as barren as a guide-book nor as discursive as an essay, but helpful in showing what is most worthy of appreciation in the monuments, the churches, and the galleries of the most interesting city in the world.

Excerpt: ... and of the rapid extirpation of the Senones; they had acquiesced without remonstrance in the establishment of Venusia, Hatria, and Sena, and in the occupation of Thurii and of Rhegium. But when the Roman fleet, on its voyage from the Tyrrhene to the Adriatic sea, now arrived iu the Tarentine waters and cast anchor in the harbour of the friendly city, the long-cherished resentment at length overflowed. Old treaties, which prohibited the warvessels of Rome from sailing to the east of the Lacinian promontory, were appealed to by popular orators in the assembly of the citizens. A furious mob fell upon the Roman ships of war, which, assailed suddenly in a piratical fashion, succumbed after a sharp struggle; five ships were taken and their crews executed or sold into slavery; the Roman admiral himself had fallen in the engagement. Only the supreme folly and supreme unscrupulousness of mob-rule can account for those disgraceful proceedings. The treaties referred to belonged to a period long past and forgotten; it is clear that they no longer had any meaning, at least subsequently to the founding of Hatria and Sena, and that the Romans entered the bay on the faith of the existing alliance; indeed, it was very much their interest--as the further aourse of things showed--to afford the Tarentines no sort of pretext for declaring war. In declaring war against Rome--if sueh was their wish--the statesmen of Tarentum were only doing what they should have done long before; and if they preferred to rest their declaration of war upon the formal pretext of a breach of treaty rather than upon the actual ground, no objection could be taken to that course, seeing that diplomacy has always reckoned it b nesith its dignity to speak the plain truth in plain...
