PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE.
11
perors are contained in Suetonius, Tacitus,
and Herodian, whose curious and amusing
volumes must of course be perused with
attention, while the Scriptores Histories
August ce will not be neglected. The Abate
Denina’s History of the Revolutions of
Italy, a work in great estimation, gives a
very satisfactory view of the whole subject,
including both ancient and modern times.
The two Sister Histories of Lorenzo and
of Leo, by Mr. Roscoe, contain a full and
interesting account of one of the most
important epochs that occur in the annals
of Italy; they have long since attracted
the attention of every candid and reflect-
ing mind, and need not be recommended
to persons who mean to visit the country
which has been the theatre of the events,
and the abode of the great men so elo-
quently recorded in them.
