Author Description

Excerpt from History of the Later Roman Commonwealth, Vol. 1 These Volumes contain a republication of the portion of Roman History contributed by Dr. Arnold to the "Encyclopædia Metropolitana," between the years 1823 and 1827. It is scarcely necessary to remark, that if his life had been prolonged, his great growth in knowledge and ability would have given a new character and a much higher value to this portion of the History of Rome. It is, however, believed that these Articles form a valuable part of our literature, and are not unworthy of accompanying those Volumes, which were the fruit of matured years. They will carry on the reader through a long and important era, from the close of the Second Punic War to the final establishment of the Empire under Augustus, and will furnish him with a consecutive narrative of the events of this period.
