    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Dec. 7, 2017)
    Excerpt from The Story of Rome, From the Earliest Times, to the Death of Augustus: Told to Boys and GirlsDear ian and willie, - The Story of Rome has been written, as you know, in your beautiful, quiet old garden.And as the story grew, the short cold days of winter passed and the long warm days of summer were here.In the garden a miracle had been wrought. It had become alive.After slow, persistent struggle with storm and frost, the delicate bare branches were no longer bare, but clothed in living green. The hard black earth too had stirred, and shoots and blades appeared, until at length the garden was ablaze with gold, purple, crimson.Sometimes I dreamed that, in its own different way, the Story of Rome too was a miracle, wrought out of the tears and throes of a brave and ambitious people.For the story tells of the birth of a city and of its growth through storm and struggle, until it became a great world empire.The city which Romulus founded was built upon a single hill; soon seven hills were not great enough to contain her. And when Augustus, the first Emperor Of Rome, began to reign, part of Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria, and a large portion of Africa formed his kingdom.Although the story was written in the quiet of your garden, little of its peace has stolen into the tale, and for that you boys may care for it the more.As you read, fierce battle-cries will ring in your ears, andselves as you read The Story of Roma - Yours affectionately, macgregor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
