Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Conquest of Italy and the Struggle With Carthage: 753 to 200

This series of Latin Readers consists of three volumes, uniform in size and arrangement. The Latin text in each consists of descriptions of historical incidents or scenes arranged in chronological order from the Building of the City to the Death of Augustus.

The series thus forms a continuous History of Rome: -

Vol. I. - The Conquest of Italy and the Struggle with Carthage, 753 to 200 B.C.

Vol. II. - The Foreign Empire, 200 to 60 B.C.

Vol. III. - The Old Senate and the New Monarchy, 60 B.C. to a.d. 14.

Each Latin passage consists of about twenty or thirty lines, and is prefaced by a very brief Introductory Note which explains the situation described or illustrated by the text, and connects it with the preceding history.

In arranging each of these Introductory Notes the Editors have generally endeavoured to show the connection between Cause and Effect, to compare Legend and Fact, or to exhibit the working of a General Truth in some particular Historical Phenomenon.
