Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goldsmith's Roman History: Abridged by Himself; For the Use of Schools I hope, therefore, for the'reader's indulgence, if, in the following attempt, it {hall appear that my ou Jy aim was to fupply a concil'e, plain, and unafl'ee'ted narrative of the rife and decline of a well known em pire.

Infiead therefore of prefling forward among the ambitious, I only claim the merit of knowing my own llrength, and falling back among the hinqlt 'xanks with confcious inferiority.
