struct an authentic narrative, which would show how Rome, from a republic whose power included only a portion of central Italy, extended her conquests so that she became mistress of all the countries surrounding the Mediterranean; how her free republican constitution, originally calculated for a single city and its community of citizens, found itself converted into the central point of an enormous empire of dependencies; and how that constitution, being unfitted for the government of a vast body of provincial subjects, and unable to overcome the dangers which it created, was strangled by the powers which her military successes had called into being; until the Roman world, exhausted by civil wars, sank into repose under the mild dominion of the dictator Cæsar, and of his nephew, the wise Augustus. In this history much must remain incomplete, uncertain, unknown; but the great outlines are as firmly marked as in a modern history, composed with brighter lights and from ampler materials; and the historical inquirer will meet with a richer return for his labours, than if he bewildered himself with vain attempts to distinguish between fact and fiction, in the accounts of the foundation of Rome, the constitution of Servius, the expulsion of Tarquin, the war with Porsena, the creation of the dictatorship and tribunate, the decemviral legislation, the siege of Veii, and the capture of Rome by the Gauls; or even the Licinian rogations, and the Samnite wars.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

Page 23. The conspiracy of the slaves is mentioned by Joannes Antiochenus, § 44, Fragm. Hist. Gr. vol. iv. p. 555; but it is placed in the sixth year of the Republic, in the consulship of Cassius and Sulpicius. According to Dionysius, it occurred in the ninth year of the Republic, in the consulship of Cominius and Larcius; but he makes Sp. Cassius one of the consuls of the preceding, and S. Sulpicius one of the consuls of the succeeding year; above, p. 53.
