Excerpt from A Short History of Rome and Italy There are two kinds of. Art. In one the ideal comes into form by accretion, in the other by elimination.' You may lavishly apply pigments until you have built up your ideal, or you may cut away superfiuities until you have reached it. History may partake of either or both of these methods. It may be presented as a sumptuous picture on a generous canvas, rich in color and be wildering in detail, or it may be reached like a cameo, by cutting away every shining particle which obscures the clear simple out line, with perhaps just a sparing use of pig ment here and there to intensify the relief. Whichever method be chosen, failure is al ways imminent, and the difficulties prodigi ous. But as a general proposition, it is easier to say things, than to refrain from saying them, especially if one's theme be Rome and Italy, when no fragment seems superfluous. To tell the story of the Italian peninsula from the days of Eneas to the present time, in less than three hundred small pages, is not an easy task! Two daemons perpetually attend you, one whispering that you are omit ting matter essential to the narrative; the other insisting that you are amplifying en tirely too much. To which of these counsel lors the writer has given too much heed, must be left to the reader to Judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

[A]n army of crusaders with the avowed purpose of pillage took possession of Constantinople, and after committing every outrage which can attend the sacking of a city, they bore away to Venice an amount of plunder which cannot be estimated, and which still clothes the city of the winged lion with gold and silver and jewels and priceless works of art. The four bronze horses, which adorn the portal to St. Mark's Church, were a part of this disgraceful spoil. -from Chapter III OF INTEREST TO: readers of European and classical history With a verve and liveliness worthy of a novelist, American writer MARY PLATT PARMELE (1843-1911) put her unique stamp on world history with her series of clever, concise histories, condensed tales of the world's great nations that encompassed the essential facts necessary for appreciating the state of the world as she saw it.
