Not illustrated. 1826 edition. Excerpt: ...doubt that Agrippa was buried in the magnificent mausoleum of his father-in-law. All the statutes and customs of the Romans prove that the rights of sepulture were considered a profanation of the Temples of the Gods; yet " the remains of Domitian were finally secretly, interred in the Temple of the Flavian Family, and his ashes mingled with those of Julia, the daughter of Titus."--(Suet.

Common Princes make Dukes or Lords--mere earthly nobility; but the Pope makes the nobility of heaven. Instead of Knights, he dubs a few Saints. In the portico of this church stands a wretched statue of Constantine, found in his baths, which may be taken as a fair specimen of the art during his reign, as we may suppose the greatest skill would be exerted on the statue of the Emperor, and it exhibits an unquestionable proof of its total degeneracy.
