These Lectures form a history of Rome from the earliest stages to the overthrow of the Western Empire. Their subjects are concurrent (up to the first Punic war) with those of Niebuhr’s great work “The History of Rome,” and comprehend discussions on the sources of Roman history, with the criticism and analysis of those materials. The Lectures differ from the History, in presenting a more popular and familiar exposition of the various topics of investigation, which are treated in the History in a more severe style. They may be used, either as an introduction to Niebuhr’s Theories, or as a running commentary on his History. The last two volumes are an indispensable SEQUEL to Niebuhr’s _History of Rome_, from the point where that History terminates. NIEBUHR’S HISTORY OF ROME. From the earliest times to the First Punic War. Translated by BISHOP THIRLWALL, ARCHDEACON HARE, Dr. SMITH, and Dr. SCHMITZ. New and Cheaper Edition, 3 vols. 8vo. £1 16_s._ “It is a work,” says the _Edinburgh Review_, “which of all that have appeared in our age, is the best fitted to excite men of learning to intellectual activity; from which the most accomplished scholar may gather fresh stores of knowledge; to which the most experienced politician may resort for theoretical and practical instruction; and which no person can read, as it ought to be read, without feeling the better and more generous sentiments of his common human nature enlivened and strengthened.” A HISTORY OF ROME. From the earliest times to the Death of Commodus, A.D. 192. By Dr. L. SCHMITZ, Rector of the High School of Edinburgh, Editor of “Niebuhr’s Lectures.” New Edition. One thick volume, 12mo. 7_s._ 6_d._ cloth. The immense progress made in investigating Roman history and antiquities within the last thirty or forty years, having materially altered the whole complexion of that study, has rendered indispensable a new manual, for the use of schools, removing the old errors and misconceptions which have long since been exposed and exploded by scholars. This compendium is designed to supply the want, by condensing and selecting out of a voluminous mass of detail, that which is necessary to give rather a vivid picture of the leading epochs of the history, than a minute narrative of the particulars recorded in the authorities. The author has availed himself of all the important works on the whole Roman history, or portions of it, which have appeared since Niebuhr gave a new life and new impulse to the subject. A copious Table of Chronology and Indexes are added. QUESTIONS ON SCHMITZ’S HISTORY OF ROME. By JOHN ROBSON, B.A. 12mo. 2_s._ cloth.
