Excerpt from Historic and Monumental Rome: A Handbook for the Students of Classical and Christian Antiquity in the Italian Capital
Having been urged by friends and acquaintances to prepare a second edition of a work in two small volumes: The Story of Monuments in Rome and its Environs (florence, I have, seeing how much the aspects of the subject have changed and its field become enlarged within late years, not only amplified but entirely re-written my former work - and have incorporated in these pages, with more or less altera tion, several papers read before the British and Ameri can Archaeological Society in Rome. The ground of Christian antiquities in and near that city is one I have gone over, with fuller treatment than is here attempted, in another volume: Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art in Italy. Having quitted Rome in the Summer of 1873, and not returned thither since, I refer in these pages to the state of things there existent up to that time, alluding to Monasteries and Convents, where I have occasion to mention ruins on their pre mises, as though the Cloisters were still inhabited by their former inmates. The law for suppressing such institutions had been enacted by the Italian Parlia ment, but not carried, out, before the end of the month (june, 1873) in which I last saw the Eternal City after residing there for many years.
