Author Description

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities At the same time, it must be observed, that it has been impossible to gite at the end of each article the whole of the literature which belongs to it. Such a list of works as a full account of the literature would require would have swelled the work much beyond the limits of a single volume, and it has therefore only been possible to refer to the principal modern authorities. This has been more particularly the case with such articles as treat of the Roman constitution and law, on which the modern wri ters are almost innumerable.
