Excerpt from Stories From the History of Rome
It was necessary that the stories should be such as would interest little children. But the writer has also selected them with a view to illustrate the two senti ments most characteristic of Roman manners - duty to parents and duty to country. She has, moreover, tried to indicate that the latter of these sentiments took precedence of the former. A healthy moral lesson is thus conveyed, while at the same time the most essential feature of the Roman civilization is impressed on the memory.
