Little Arthur's History of Rome

Viac o knihe

Excerpt from Little Arthur's History of Rome: From the Golden Age to Constantine Age of Rome and the Roman Republic and Empire in such a way as to prepare the young reader for an interest and zest in his classical studies. Hence I have quoted freely the most picturesque stories of Virgil, Livy, Suetonius, and have sought to illustrate notable events by the vivid words of the Roman orators. In a succession of stories and historical explanations, I have hoped to lead the young student on to his academic and collegiate studies in such a way as to make his higher education an agreeable prospect and a classical course of study a delight. And to such as cannot secure a higher education in the usual way, I have sought to give a popular introduction to the best classical reading and to awaken in the minds of all young readers a love for the best.
