The author attempts to trace the rise, progress, and decline of the city, as well as the vicissitudes of her monuments. He uses some of the more striking historical scenes as illustrations, and alludes to the lives and residences of those whose genius has adorned or whose actions have illustrated their history. This is, to the author's knowledge, the first history of Rome in the English language, and he hopes that this circumstance will be a recommendation to his readers.
