Excerpt from The Fall of Rome, and the Rise of the New Nationalities: A Series of Lectures on the Connection Between Ancient and Modern History
AN important historical work is its own best introduction. This is not the case with books which are about history, rather than history itself. These require some explanation of their purpose and method, for they may deal with a matter in which the reader feels an interest, yet in a manner displeasing to his taste or foreign to his purposes as a. Stu dent. I shall therefore explain, in as few words as possible, what I have endeavoured to do in these Lectures, and why I have endeavoured to do it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an historical overview of Rome, focusing on the period between the rise of Augustus and the death of Constantine. The author argues that Rome's influence on Western Civilization was profound and long-lasting, and that many aspects of modern life can be traced back to Roman origins. Rather than focus on the political and administrative history of the empire, the author takes a broader perspective, examining topics such as language, law, religion, warfare, and economics. He notes that the Roman Empire never entirely vanished, but rather evolved into various successor states, and that its influence continued to shape European history and culture throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. Written with clarity and insight, this book provides a fresh and nuanced perspective on the fall of the Roman Empire and its legacy.
