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.

Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 2 of 2 After the election Pompey said to Crassus, Do you go to Asia and look after our enemies there, and I will stay here and take care of Rome. And Crassus answered, With all my heart. For he knew that there was a fine chance for making money among the rich nations of Asia, and he cared very little for power in comparison with riches.

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.

Excerpt from Walks in Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 An arrival in Rome is very different to that in any other town in Europe. It is coming to a place new and yet most familiar, strange and yet so well known. When travellers arrive at Verona, for instance, or at Arles, they generally go to the amphitheatres with a curiosity to know what they are like but when they arrive at Rome and go to the Coliseum, it is to visit an Object whose appear ance has been familiar to them from childhood, and, long ere it is reached, from the heights of the distant Capitol they can recog nise the well-known form - and as regards S. Peter's, who is not familiar with the aspect of the dome, of the wide-spreading piazza, and the foaming fountains, for long years before they come to gaze upon the reality? My presentiment of the emotions with which I should behold the Roman ruins has proved quite correct, ' wrote Niebuhr. Nothing about them is new to me as a child I lay so often, for hours to gether, before their pictures, that their i es were, even at that early age, as distinctly impressed upon my m nd as if I had actually seen them.'

Excerpt from The Story of the Roman People an Elementary History of Rome There is little that is of more practical value to the young folk of to-day than the history of Rome. How a village king dom became a mighty republic, how the republic became a world-embracing empire, how that empire, the dread and pride of its millions of subjects, fell so low as to become the sport Of its own soldiers all this is, indeed, a tale of mar vel. But the history of Rome is more than a mere story. Many of the difficulties and many of the advantages Of the Roman Republic are akin to those of the American Repub lic. The solution of such problems as have already presented themselves in the United States is even now demanding the highest Wisdom Of the land. Other problems will arise in the near future. Roman history is a mighty object lesson, of value. To every citizen of our Republic, of especial value to the children into Whose hands the government will so speed ily pass. What is learned in years of maturity is an addi tion to one's mental equipment; what is learned in child hood becomes a part of the mind itself. That those Who read this book may find it of interest to-day, of service to morrow, is the Wish Of the author. Eva march tappan. March 1, 1910.

Excerpt from Stories From the History of Rome The writer of this little book was not satisfied that her children should hear nothing but fairy tales and the stories of nursery life, now so popular. But she could find nothing else fit to read to them. There are, indeed, plenty of story-books drawing their materials from history, and professing to be intended for children. But they are not suited to very young children. They abound in words and ideas which a child of four or six years old not only does not understand, but cannot be made to understand. The writer, however, believed that it was quite possible to put portions of Livy and Plutarch into language which should need little or no explanation even to children of that age. She accordingly made the experiment. One story after another was written and read to her little boys. Whenever she discovered that a word or idea was unintelligible to them, she took pains to simplify it. She found that they thoroughly enjoyed these old tales from Roman history, and liked to hear them repeated again and again.

Excerpt from The Childhood of Rome The various customs and events introduced here were not, probably, part of the history of one generation. It is possible, however, that as a tree grows from a seed, the laws of the future city were foreshadowed and suggested in the relations between the Romans as individuals and between the town on the Palatine and its neighbors.

Excerpt from History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Death of Theodosius I to the Death of Justinian 395 to 565 Although we know little of the details of the process by which the western provinces of the Empire became German kingdoms, one fact stands out. The change of masters was not the result of anything that could be called a cataclysm. The German peoples, who were much fewer in numbers than is often imagined, at first settled in the provinces as dependents, and a change which meant virtually conquest was disguised for a shorter or longer time by their recognition of the nominal rights of the Emperor. Britain, of which we know less than of any other part of the Empire at this period, seems to have been the only exception to this rule. The consequence was that the immense revolution was accomplished with far less violence and upheaval than might have been expected. This is the leading fact which it is the chief duty of the historian to make clear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A stream of narrative, clear, simple, and flowing. We have witnessed the effects of this book on the minds of children with much interest. Their attention never flags; they soon catch the points of interest; they discriminate between the vrai and the semiblable, and become historians and critics in a surprising manner. We think this work highly creditable to the author and oar literature, and should be introduced into our schools. It is written in the spirit of, and up to the requirements of, the present age. --N. Y. Herald.

Excerpt from Ave Roma Immortalis, Vol. 1 of 2: Studies From the Chronicles of Rome But down beneath the legend lies the fact, in hewn stones already far in the third thousand Of their years. Digging for truth, searchers have come here and there upon the first walls and gates Of the Palatine village, straight, strong and deeply founded. The men who made them meant to hold their own, and their own was whatsoever they were able to take from others by force. They built their walls round a four-sided space, wide enough for them, scarcely big enough a thousand years later for the houses Of their children's rulers, the pal aces of the Caesars Of which SO much still stands today.
