Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome in America In Motley's History of the United Netherlands there is a picture which Americans should study. William the Silent, Prince of Orange, had been murdered on the 10th of July, 1584. The disaster was apparently universal. "Habit, necessity, and the natural gifts of the man had combined to invest him at last with an authority which seemed more than human. There was such general confidence in his sagacity, courage, and purity, that the nation had come to think with his brain and to act with his hand!" He was dead. The cause remained. Under the rule of his enemy, Philip II., a small, dull, elderly, imperfectly educated, patient, plodding invalid, with white hair and protruding under-jaw and dreary visage, were America, the East Indies, the whole Spanish Peninsula, the better portion of Italy, the seventeen Netherlands, and many other possessions, far and near, and he contemplated annexing to this extensive property the kingdoms of France, of England and Ireland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americans in Rome While we in America, with our war and work, are fighting along stoutly in the advance guard of the world, let us not forget that there has been a past, by which we may still profit much, though it be only by measuring from it our onward course. Such a standard may be found in Rome, which is to the present day the most living specimen of a rapidly vanishing, yet culti vated age, in existence. In this great city and its terri tories, old times still weep and smile as they did in fairy tales and pictures, until the present age of steel came to improve the world. Rome is our direct anti thesis. She is all of the past, and full of lessons, even if they be only of warning for the future.

Download or read book Histories of Greece and Rome written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histories of Greece and Rome: And of South and North America Two thousand copies of the Plymouth first edition of this work have been sold, in the space of a few years. This is ample evidence of the estimation in which it is held by the public. As the best return the publisher can make for the patronage, which he has received, he has spared no expense to render the pie-sent edition more accurate and worthy of encouragement, than any which has preceded it. The reviser, to whom was submitted the examination of the copy, before it was put to the press, has corrected many errors, which had crept into the work in previous impressions, especially in the ancient histories, by carefully comparing it with standard authorities, The histories of South and North America, which are extracted almost entirely from Dr. Robertson and Dr. Gordon, and of which they are good abridgments, he has collated throughout with the originals, rectified occasional mistakes, and supplied some omissions. He did not think it his duty to new-model Mr. Cooper's composition, excepting in a few instances, where perspicuity manifestly required it, though he felt a strong desire to restore the elegant periods of the historian of South America. It was his intention to make the orthography of the volume uniform, corresponding with that of Johnson and Walker. The publisher flatters himself, that his second edition of the work, now offered the community, will meet their continued approbation. He trusts, that it will answer the candid expectation of those schools and literary institutions, by whom it is used as an elementary treatise. In fine, he hopes, that these histories of Mr. Cooper's, whose lucid order, judicious and interesting selection of materials, compressed into a small compass - excellences allowed them by common suffrage - wherever they may circulate, will prove of essential benefit in forming the minds of the rising generation, for whom they were designed, and to whose capacity they appear very well adapted.

Download or read book Are We Rome? written by Cullen Murphy and published by HMH. This book was released on 2008-05-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What went wrong in imperial Rome, and how we can avoid it: “If you want to understand where America stands in the world today, read this.” —Thomas E. Ricks The rise and fall of ancient Rome has been on American minds since the beginning of our republic. Depending on who’s doing the talking, the history of Rome serves as either a triumphal call to action—or a dire warning of imminent collapse. In this “provocative and lively” book, Cullen Murphy points out that today we focus less on the Roman Republic than on the empire that took its place, and reveals a wide array of similarities between the two societies (The New York Times). Looking at the blinkered, insular culture of our capitals; the debilitating effect of bribery in public life; the paradoxical issue of borders; and the weakening of the body politic through various forms of privatization, Murphy persuasively argues that we most resemble Rome in the burgeoning corruption of our government and in our arrogant ignorance of the world outside—two things that must be changed if we are to avoid Rome’s fate. “Are We Rome? is just about a perfect book. . . . I wish every politician would spend an evening with this book.” —James Fallows

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America or Rome, Christ or the Pope Universal the all-absorbing problem with which the age confronts her. At the Baltimore Catholic Congress, Henry F. Brownson, LL.D., said: The American system is also anti-protestant, and must either reject Protestantism, or be overthrown by it. At the dedication of the Roman Catholic Uni versity at Washington, Father Fidelis asserted: Either the Catholic Church is God's agency set in operation and maintained by Him for the salva tion of mankind, or else there is no hope from God. Protestantism has had its day, and is pass ing, as all human systems of philosophy or religion must surely pass.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 17 The continuity between the civilizations of Greece and Rome cannot be denied. But it is too often slighted in modern studies both because frequently each is treated by itself and also because of a reaction from the opinion that Rome was only an unimportant step-child of Greece. This reaction has justly emphasized the importance of Italic elements in Roman culture but it has tried to reduce the Hellenic element to a superficial coating which cannot obscure the originality of a strong native civilization. In particular, recent discussions of the Augustan prin-cipate have belittled the contributions made thereto by Greek political thought, especially as interpreted by Cicero. Augustus has been portrayed either as a practical politician, who solved his problems according to the needs of the immediate situation and without the guidance of any general philosophy, or at best as the heir of a strictly Roman tradition which stood in strong contrast to the political doctrines and experience of Greece. The question of the degree to which Greek thought shaped the form which Augustus gave to the prin-cipate has been so thoroughly canvassed that fresh arguments can hardly be devised. Each student must form his own opinion of the validity of the evidence adduced on either side. But the most ardent advocates for a purely Roman inspiration in the theory of the principate would hardly deny that its practices were in considerable measure modeled on those of the Hellenistic monarchies, though they may maintain that these derivative elements were transmuted into something new and grand by the Roman genius. Yet Augustus could hardly have been familiar with the practical aspects of Hellenistic monarchy without knowing something of Greek political theory, granted, of course, that he had any interest in speculation. A Roman who grew up in the society which Cicero portrays must have learned something about Greek thought either in his education or in the talk which he heard going on around him. But it may serve to support the thesis that Augustus drew his political inspiration as much from Greek as from Roman sources if the evidences for Hellenistic influence on the structure of the principate can be presented. This presentation cannot pretend to contribute much fresh material. But only one partial collection has heretofore been made, Kornemann's article on "A gyptische Einflusse im romischen Kaiserreich," which, though some of its arguments are perhaps somewhat far-fetched, has served as the basis for the present treatment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Vol. 27 While the importance of the cortile is easily recognized, the facade of the palace does not communicate its significance so readily. It too is unique. But as a work of the very late sixteenth century it is old-fashioned and even odd. A date earlier than 1590 changes this. Every decade, every year it can be pushed back increases its historical importance. The date, the significance, and the great architect of the Borghese facade were the most surprising revelations that the palace had in store.
