Excerpt from Days Near Rome, Vol. 2
From the nature of the Campagna and the paucity of inhabitants, the ancient landmarks are sometimes more easily traced here than in other parts of Italy. But cultivation born of modern Italian prosperity, which is no friend to old sites and remains, is moving apace. Every year some disappear, and inscriptions are de stroyed.

Excerpt from Days Near Rome, Vol. 2
In submitting these volumes to the public, I would earnestly apologize to my readers for their imperfections. The ground, in many instances, had been almost untrodden; several of the places described are difficult of access, and have never before been visited by foreigners; and, in most cases, published descriptions either do not exist at all already, or are so inaccurate and untrustworthy as to be only misguiding. A great field for discovery still remains, even within a day's journey of Rome; and if, in opening the way to others, I lead them to enjoy half the pleasure I have received from my own researches, I shall be more than rewarded.
Some of the chapters of this book have already appeared, in a condensed form, as Magazine Articles in "Good Words."
