Author Description

Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 4 The delay has enabled me to compare the sheets with the fourth edition of the German, issued in the present year. I have adhered substantially to the same principles of translation as in the earlier volumes, endeavouring to retain as much of the form and manner of the original as seemed compatible with a due regard to English idiom, and even venturing in some cases to have less regard to the latter than to the desirableness of reproducing Dr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
