Excerpt from Italy, Her People and Their Story: A Popular History of the Beginning, Rise, Development, and Progress of Italy From the Time of Romulus to That of Victor Emanuel III
Italy is one of the most discussed subjects of the day, both on account of the great number of Americans who visit the country each year and also because it has recently come into notice as a kingdom in process of large development, which is likely to result in its finally assuming a place as one of the lead ing nations.
More and more is written each year concerning Italy's aims, aspirations, probabilities, and chances. Hence the necessity of a work telling the deeds of the people from earliest times has become most urgent. This is especially the case since, of late, early Roman history, with its captivating legends, has been relegated, for the most part, to the Latin authors, while people in general have grown rusty with regard to the old classic tales which formerly were household words.
With reference also to modern Italian history for the past few decades, little concerning it has been put into concise readable form, and a great demand has all at once sprung up for a bright, brief, entertaining, authentic account of events in Italy since her consoli dation as a united kingdom in 1870.
