First words
In the second century of the Christian era the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth and the most civilized portion of mankind.
Last words
It was among the ruins of the Capitol that I first conceived the idea of a work which has amused and exercised near twenty years of my life, and which, however inadequate to my own wishes, I finally deliver to the curiosity and candour of the public.
