Excerpt from History of Rome, Vol. 2
The volume of this history now published has had throughout, like that which preceded it, the benefit of Niebuhr"s assistance. I have only, therefore, to repeat what was said in the preface to the first volume, that "no acknowledgment can be too ample for the advantages which I have derived from his work."
There has lately appeared, in the second volume of Niebuhr"s life and letters, a letter written by him to a young student, containing various directions and suggestions with respect to his philological studies. Amongst other things he says, "I utterly disapprove of the common practice of adopting references, after verifying them, without naming the source whence they are taken; and tedious as the double reference is, never allow myself to dispense with it.
