Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Ancient History, Vol. 1 The stories here presented to the public are taken from the second book of his history; because Egypt, whose annals embrace the utmost verge of antiquity, is the subject of that portion of it; and the author making the facts mentioned by Herodotus his foundation, has endeavoured to rear upon them a super structure - as far as possible following reality for his guide. Even where he has ventured into the region of fiction, he has taken care not to adduce any thing contrary to the tenor of history: where it is silent, he has so filled up the chasm as to continue the thread of each story; but it has been his constant plan.
