Excerpt from History of Rome and the Roman People, Vol. 2: From Its Origin to the Establishment of the Christian Empire

I take the earliest occasion to make two acknowledgments inadvertence omitted from the Preface to Vol. 1. I am indebted to M. Duuuy for many valuable corrections and notes supplied specially for this edition; also to the kindness of Mrs. Kegan Paul for permitting the use of three of her Sicilian sketches for the illustrations (pp. 498-9, and 603) in the first volume. They are now all the more amble as her sketch-book has since been destroyed by tire. M. I)i Tuvalu wishes me to add that the inscription of Hydrocarbons on p. 488 of this volume is spurious, the pretended discover}' being a fraud exposed since the page was printed.
