Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life in the Roman World, of Nero and St. Paul
The reception accorded to my Life in Ancient Athens has led me to write the present companion work with an eye to the same class of readers. In the preface to the former volume it was said: I have sought to leave an impression true and sound, so far as it goes, and also vivid and distinct. The style adopted has therefore been the opposite of the pedantic, utilizing any vivacities of method which are consistent with truth of fact. The same principles have guided me in the present equally unpretentious treatise. I agree entirely with Mr. Warde Fowler when he says: I firmly believe that the one great hope for classical learning and education lies in the interest which the unlearned public may be brought to feel m ancient life and thought.
