Description
Excerpt from Roman Society in the Last Century of the Western Empire
A few words of preface seem to be necessary to explain the object of this book, and the limits within which the writer has wished to confine it. It is perhaps super?uous to say that nothing like a general history of the period has been attempted. That is a task which has been already accomplished by abler hands. The subject of this work is mainly what it professes to be, the inner life and thoughts of the last three generations in the Empire of the West. If external events are referred to, it is only because men''s private fortunes and feelings cannot be severed from the fortunes of the State.
