Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire
Dr Isler further states, that when his manuscript was ready for the press, it was revised by Professor Classen; and that M. Marcus Niebuhr, who afterwards undertook the revision of the proof-sheets, also suggested several improvements. From these statements, the reader will see that the German editor had greater advantages than could have fallen to the lot of any one undertaking the task in this country; for he not only had notes fiom two distinct courses of Lectures on the same sub jcet, one of which was supplementary to the other, but he was assisted by those most deeply interested in the work. As, moreover, the three volumes of Niebuhr's immortal History treat ofthe same period as that contained in these Lectures, the former always served as a corrective, wherever the scripts of the latter were obscure or imperfect.
