Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Romans Under the Empire, Vol. 6 Maturity and rapid decline. The manners and morals, the ideas and sentiments of mankind, at the highest stage of heathen development, their laws and institutions, their spiritual aspirations, the fall of Paganism, and the rise of Christianity, -these are the subjects upon which we are next to enter. I judge that two more volumes will suffice to embrace the whole sphere of the imperial civilization but the labour required will be out of all proportion to the space to be filled, and with such an amount of leisure as I can hope to com mand, a considerable period must be expected to elapse before they can make their appearance.
