Excerpt from Smaller History of Rome: From the Earliest Times to the Establishment of the Empire The present History has been drawn up chiefly for the lower forms in schools, at the request of several teachers, and is intended to range with the author's Smaller History of Greece. It will be followed by a similar History of England. The author is indebted in this work to several of the more important articles upon Roman history in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography. The Table of Contents presents a full analysis of the work, and has been so arranged that the teacher can frame from it questions for the examination of his class, the answers to which will be found in the corresponding pages of the volume. The restoration of the Forum has been designed by Mr. P. W. Justyne. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
