Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Rome, From the First Punic War to the Death of Constantine, Vol. 1: Forming the Fourth Volume of the Entire History
If I have not succeeded in reproducing these lectures in a manner worthy of Niebuhr in all respects, I venture to hope that a consideration of the difficulties with which I have had to struggle, will suggest at least some excuse for my inadequate performance. I have often been on the point of giving up the undertaking altogether in despair, but my love and admiration for Niebuhr, my conviction of the peculiar interest and value of his lectures, and the en couragement of learned friends, always urged me on, and gave me fresh strength to proceed with my task. And now that the work is completed, I would rather see all its defects attributed to my own incapacity, than that any one of them should, through my fault, be imputed to Niebuhr.
