Sinopsis
Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 5
I have not been able or willing to assume the attitude of perfect indifference as to the Spirit and character of individual and national morality. I have not aimed at painting in those neutral tints which, if they do not give the wrong colours, cannot give the right colours either. But I have tried to aspire to that which is the highest and the most difficult virtue of an historian, impartiality - an impartiality which does not shrink from pronouncing judgment, but which guides the judge, even in passing sentence, to a just discrimination between right and wrong.
Yet I have been charged with a bias unfavourable to Rome. Surely it would be strange for a man to devote, years of patient study and severe labour to a subject, if he were not inspired with a certain degree of enthusiasm for it. The general tendency of writers has been to exalt.

Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 5
In the present volume the history of republican Rome is brought to an end. What follows is the process of transition to a monarchical form of government. The history of the Empire properly begins with the dictatorship of Sulla. Hence Dean Merivale, in his 'History of the Romans under the Empire,' very properly makes the death of Sulla his starting-point. Having reached this point, I propose, for the present, to stop. If I undertake to write more, it will be a distinct work.
The great difficulty which an historian of Rome has to contend with is the fragmentary condition and the untrustworthy character of the sources. This is due in the earlier period to the absence of literary culture in Rome, and in the later to the unfortunate circumstance that when at last literature began to be cultivated, and numerous annalists undertook to record the traditions of the past and the reports of current events, almost all of these extensive historical works were swept away, leaving nothing behind but a few coherent fragments and second-hand compilations.
