Dr. Mommsen has long been known and appreciated through his researches 

 into the languages, laws, and institutions of Ancient Rome and Italy, as 

 the most thoroughly versed scholar now living in these departments of his- 

 torical investigation. To a wonderfully exadt and exhaustive knowledge of 

 these subjects, he unites great powers of generalization, a vigorous, spirited, 

 and exceedingly graphic style and keen analytical powers, which give this 

 history a degree of interest and a. permanent value possessed by no other 

 record of the decline and fall of the Roman Commonwealth. " Dr. 

 Mommsen's work," as Dr. Schmitz remarks in the introduction, " though 

 the production of a man of most profound and extensive learning and . 

 knowledge of the world, is not as much designed for the professional 

 scholar as for intelligent readers of all classes who take an interest in the his- 

 tory of by-gone ages, and are inclined there to seek information that may 

 guide them safely through the perplexing mazes of modern history." 



CRITICAL NOTICES. 



'* A. work of the very highest merit ; its learning is exact and profound ; its narrative full 

 of genius and skill ; its descriptions of men are admirably vivid. We wish to place on 

 record our opinion that Dr. Mommsen's is by far the best history of the Decline and FrU 

 of the Roman Commonwealth." — London Times. 



M Since the days of Niebuhr, no work on Roman History has appeared that combines so 

 much to attract, instruct, and charm the reader. Its style — a rare quality in a German au- 

 thor — is vigorous, spirited, and animated. Professor Mommsen's work can stand a com- 

 parison with the noblest productions of modern history." — Dr. Schmitz. 



"This is the best history of the Roman Republic, taking the work on the whole— tlw 

 luthor's complete mastery of his subject, the variety of his gifts and acquirements, hi* 

 graphic power in the delineation of national and individual character, and the vivid intereal 

 vhich he inspires in every portion of his book. He is without an equal in hit own sphere "
