Synopsis
Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: With Illustration, Original and From the Antique, Drawn on Wood
As for the strength of the case made out against Macau lay's justice and reliability, controversy would fall within the Scope of a discussion of his history or his essays, rather than within that of this introduction. I cannot, however, refrain from commenting that a much more bitter partisanship than his seems to characterize the writings of his detractors, and that I know of very few instances where his facts and judgments have suffered by comparison with the revisions suggested or demanded.
