Excerpt from The Sancta Respublica Romana: A Handbook to the History of Rome Italy, From the Division HE materials for the composition of this little book were collected and arranged from con temporary authorities, and such ancient records as have come down to us, some years ago; when, during a residence in Italy, I had felt the want of such information as it is intended to furnish. Since those days increased attention has been directed to mediaeval history; and especially to that of Rome and Italy. The subject has been taken up by writers whose researches have thrown new light on the subject, and made it most attractive. Yet the study of complicated and necessarily volu minous details can only be carried out by those who have leisure hours at their disposal. Under these circumstances, I hope to be acquitted of presumption if I endeavour to supply a want which still exists - That of a continuous account of the changes and calamities which befell the ancient centre of Roman power during five eventful centuries - From the division of the Roman world between the sons of Theodosius to the breaking-up of Charlemagne's empire of the West. I have been at pains to do this as brie y as possible. Yet not with such brevity as would render the narrative obscure and devoid of interest.
