“Preface: these stories of the Old Romans are intended to form a companion volume to the “Tales of Heroes and Great Men of Old”, by the same author.  He has endeavoured while retaining the chronological order of events, and so keeping in view their historical connection, to select such as present the most salient points of interest, and which also are most suggestive of moral lessons.”
