Excerpt from Marcus Flaminius; Or, a View of the Military, Polical and Social Life of the Romans, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Letters From a Patrician to His Friend; In the Year 1762; From the Foundation of Rome, to the Year 1769
I am sensible that the present work can only be considered as a faint representation of a great and import image; but if a few of the principal features are delineated, it may assist the enquiries of the traveller, and, in some measure, gratify the curiosity of those who are denied the satisfaction of visiting the places dignified by history.
