Excerpt from A Plea for Livy: With Critical Notes on His First Book; For the Use of Students
Ch. 1. P. 107, l. 1 (seeley). Nor does Livy doubt the early history, but only the miraculous part of it.
Livy himself says, as plainly as he can speak, that the whole history before the building of the city was a parcel of fables.
