Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 1 Ir db. Arnold had lived to finish his History of Rome and to embody in successive editions the results of the numerous researches which since Niebuhr s death have thrown so much light on the subject, the present work would perhaps never have been undertaken. Arnold possessed in the highest degree many of the qualities which such a work requires. His style and mode of treatment have a charm that captivates the reader and confers interest even on abstruse and troublesome investi gations; his writings exhibit all the dignity of history without the tediousness which makes even attractive subjects too often repulsive; he had no need to descend to the level of the pamphleteer for the purpose of avoiding dulness. His fancy was lively; he could picture to himself and to his readers the most distant situations, the motives and actions of men, and the outward circumstances which formed their background. He entered with warmth and sympathy into the description of the sufferings, the aspirations, the struggles, triumphs, and failures which make up the sum total of the history of our race, and with his own enthusiasm he carried his readers with him. At the same time his judgment was sound, his learning comprehensive, his eye unclouded by prejudice or para doxical whims. In one respect he would, if he had lived longer, have removed objections that could justly be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 1 He would have emancipated himself from the bondage, the willing bondage, to Niebuhr's authority; he would have been the interpreter of his own convictions, and not have continued jurare in verba magistri.' But forty years ago the authority of Niebuhr was too great even for such A. Mind as Arnold's to resist. Niebuhr had resuscitated in Germany the independent search for historical truth, which had long lain dormant; and his first disciples were IO penetrated with admiration and gratitude that they hardly dared to criticise, and certainly did not venture to reject, even those theories and speculations which they acknowledged or felt to be supported neither by external evidence nor by internal probability. Since that time a long line of pupils or independent students has, especially in Germany, worked incessantly in the further exploration of that mournful mass of ruins which buries the fallen edifice of Roman greatness. The positive results of Niebuhr's investigations have in a hundred ways been modified, enlarged, or rejected. To write the history of Rome at present from Niebuhr's stand-point would be as unprofitable as to go to war with the fire-arms which were considered perfect in the time of the long peace. We are indeed still in the midst of our improvements. We are gaining new knowledge every day and discarding old errors; but the time seems not unfavourable for a book which, whilst continuing the work of independent research, embodies so much of the results of recent inquiries as may be considered a clear and permanent accession to our stock of knowledge.
