Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered Before the Rhode-Island Historical Society
'And thus the double destiny of Rome was accomplished, the preservation of the precious results of ancient civilization, and the more rapid diffusion of Christianity. Yet how would Caesar, with all the intensity of his intellectual nature, have smiled, had some newly deciphered page of the Sibyl's mysterious volume, told him for whose kingdom he was conquering the Gauls I Or how little would even the vast mind of Tully have comprehended to what results, those beautiful speculations, in which he sought relief from the cares of the Senate house, and the tumult of the Forum, were inevitably leading.'
