Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Last Days of Papal Rome: 1850 1870
Rome, since September 20, 1870, has so changed as to render the reconstruction of her past most difficult, a past complicated by historical circum stances and by reason of its geography; a city not really in the centre of Italy, the political capital of a small Italian State and the religious capital of the Catholic world, girdled by a desert and marshes, almost skirting the sea, yet not a maritime city; subject to the enervating Sirocco, enclosed within walls, of which two-thirds surrounded villas, vine yards, meadows, malarial cane fields and ruins.

Excerpt from The Last Days of Papal Rome: 1850 1870
Following up my former work, "The End of a Kingdom," in which I narrated the last years of the Neapolitan sovereignty, I now endeavour to picture the last years of Papal Rome, though I confess I do not wish to pass for the necrologist of the old Italian States.
I have employed the method made use of in the previous work on Naples, a method to which may be attributed the success it had, but I confess that, for the recent events of Roman life, the difficulty of research was much greater, if only because I have here covered a period of twenty years. Also there was nothing homogeneous about the Papal States, and the historical conditions of the provinces were substantially different on the two sides of the Apennines. Nor did the Holy See publish its diplomatic documents. Besides, ecclesiastics, as is well known, are more cautious in making revelations and confessions than are the laity.
