No people with whom the modern world is acquainted are so well known to it as are the Romans. Admitting that legend rather than history tells us of their origin and early days, yet in that legend it is not impossible to sever the real from the unreal to such an extent as to justify the assertion that we know the Romans better than 'any other people — their birth, their maturity, and their death. That the study of the organisation and development of the Reman institutions must be one, not merely of interest, but of profit, is necessarily obvious to all who recognise the fact that each generation benefits or suffers by the doings or omissions of its predecessor, and that from the experience of those who have gone before, all learn, or ought to learn, how to steer their future course.
