Author Description

Excerpt from Italy and Her Invaders, 376-476, Vol. 1: Book I. The Visigothic Invasion The volumes now published form a chapter of history which is complete in itself; but if life and health be continued to me, I hope to narrate here after the fortunes of the Ostrogoths and Lombards, and thus to bring my work down within sight of the august figure of Charles the Great.
