Burton, H: Selections From Livy, Edited -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Selections From Livy, Edited: With Notes and Introduct The chief purpose of these selections from Livy is to give to college students a better appreciation of the genius and versatility of the historian than can be gained from the reading of a single book or of several books' treat ing a single period. There is also a historical purpose. Chapters have been selected which treat the most impor tant periods or events in the history of Rome which are covered by the remains of Livy's work. These have been found to be in general the most interesting as well as the most significant. It has been thought advisable to include only passages of some length, - that is, of several chap ters, giving a complete account of a single period or event, and many isolated chapters of considerable interest have therefore been omitted.
