This well-illustrated 19th-century guide to Rome is a fascinating glimpse into the Eternal City as it was nearly two hundred years ago, before much of it had been excavated and restored in the manner we know today. The author combines historical background with practical information to guide the traveler around sites such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the ruins of the Roman Forum, conjuring up their past glories through vivid descriptions. He also provides insights into the lives of the ordinary citizens of Rome, and of the foreign visitors who flocked to the city during the fashionable "Grand Tour."
