Excerpt from The Republic of Rome
The Roman Republic may be said to have commenced upon the day when Brutus and Collatinus were elected consuls. Tarquinius Superbus'was at this time king of Rome; and at the very moment when the revolution took place, he and his immense army were encamped before the walls of Ardea, endeavoring to bring that strong city in subjection to Rome. To be completely stripped of his power at home, and to be shamefully and helplessly driven from the midst of his tr00ps, was an event of which neither he nor his subjects had dreamed two days before its occurrence. Still it is not a matter which should occasion surprise, for Tarquinius was a detested tyrant, whom the people, under a resolute leader, were at any moment ready to crush.

Excerpt from The Republic of Rome
The absorbing narratives which make up the history of the Republic of Rome, are rendered none the less instructive to the general reader, and certainly none the less essential to the student, by reason of the abundant acuteness evinced by Beaufort and Niebuhr in disproving the testimonies of Livy and Dionysius. Indeed, a very good knowledge of the narratives here collected is necessary, in order that either pleasure or profit may be derived from the writings of these modern historians. While much of this period of Roman history is undoubtedly fabulous, real characters begin to make their appearance, and the early struggles between Liberty and Despotism evince an origin antecedent to the fascinating writers of antiquity who have recorded them. They are always read and studied with the liveliest interest, and so, too, are those exhibitions of the love of authority, and thirst of military glory, which, taking the place of the stern Roman virtue, drained the plains of Italy of its noble inhabitants, and sent them to die in distant lands, while their ambitious leaders, making conquest after conquest, subdued Spain, Carthage, Greece, Egypt, Asia, and, at length, under Julius Cæsar, Rome itself.
