Excerpt from The Last Gladiatorial Show
We take pleasure in presenting this little volume to the Young People, particularly the more advanced, who are froming a taste for historical reading.
Imperfect as it may be, if it should induce any to turn their attention to the inexhaustible storehouses of fact, rather than to the emptiness of fiction, it will have served its purpose. While it has been our endeavor at all times to represent to you, in a small measure at least, the wonderful influence of Christianity upon a dark age, we have not sought to cover up the inhuman vices of that age, but have brought them forward for your abhorrence.
