Author Description

Excerpt from A History and Description Scription of Roman Political Institutions The brevity at which I have aimed has made it necessary at times in discussing controverted questions to content myself with stating what seemed to me the most probable theory. It has possibly at other points led to the omission of certain details whose presentation might modify the reader's conception of the institution in question. If this has given a dogmatic tone to any part of the work, I hope that the defect has been corrected by the fact that refer ence has been made to the sources for almost every impor tant statement, and that modern literature has been freely cited, so that the reader may form an independent judg ment or may acquaint himself with the views held by others on the matter in question.
