Excerpt from The City of the Seven Hills: A Book of Stories From the History of Ancient Rome In this volume, the attempt has been made to give a picture of the life and history of the Roman peo ple. So far as it has been feasible, this has been done by means of biographical sketches, selected so as to be illustrative of the Roman character, its virtues and its faults. In this way, it has also been possible to weave into the narrative a more vivid description of the daily life and customs of the men, women and children of Rome, than would have been the case under any other method of treatment. In the last chapter, an attempt is made to relate the old Rome to modern life through a description of some existing remains, and to point out in a few words the way in which the ancient city was merged in the Rome of to-day. In a work designed for young children, as is this one, it seems desirable that the brutal element of Roman character and history should be eliminated so far as is possible; and to this end, much has been omitted from the narrative which might properly find a place in a history of Rome for High School use.

Excerpt from Italy Old and New One of my greatest joys in Rome has been my window. Not that my room boasts fair casement or bright stained glass through which light filters across floor in patterns or in pictures. My window does not shut me in with beauty but leads me out to life. It is a high casement window, for though this study in the Pensione Girardet by strange Italian calculation is said to be on the third floor of the old Palazzo, it is reached by six long, turning flights of stairs and when in the morning I fling open my shutters, I stand face to face with the saints on the roof of Santa Maria Maggiore's choir. Greeting them, I lean out and look eastward to see if Monte Cavo's crested height shows clear against the sky, omen of fair day, and then turning westward I salute the statue of Garibaldi on the Janiculum. So my day starts with all Italy from the Alban Mount to the War of Independence spread out before me. I would never live anywhere in Rome but on the Piazza dell' Esquilino. Of all those gentle elevations which were once the seven hills of the Eternal City, the Esquiline seems to stand the highest now and the Campanile of Santa Maria Maggiore towers to the stars as once Maecenas' palace on the Esquiline did.

Excerpt from Rome in Winter, and the Tuscan Hills in Summer: A Contribution to the Climate of Italy NO capital and indeed no city in Europe presents greater attractions to visitors from all lands than the city of the Seven Hills, and no city is more dreaded for its supposed unhealthiness. The former none will question, and the latter may, by a calm consideration of the facts, presented in the following pages, be found to be largely due to ignorance, and the exaggerations of travellers. One fact must ever be borne in mind in forming conclu sions as to the sanitary condition of Rome from the number of distinguished visitors who may have died there, and that is, that no continental city is visited by so many persons of distinction as Rome.

Excerpt from History of Rome History. But it is necessary for my purpose to tell the story in its commonly accepted form. The city of Rome grew up gradually on seven hills lym by the Tiber, about fourteen miles from its mouth. It was a favourite delusion among the Romans that they were descended from the gods; and their poets and historians dwelt lovingly on the story of Eneas the Trojan, a son of Venus, who left the ashes of his native city, and wandered long, until he found a refuge in Latium, where his son Ascanius built on the ridge of a hill a long white city (alba Longa). There his descendants reigned through many generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
