One half of our life has been spent in studying Rome on the spot. For our guides we have had the classic authorities and recent excavations; and it has been with us a labour of love to work out from our authors the meaning of the ruins uncovered, and impart the information thus obtained to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe excavations of the last few years have thrown an entirely new flood of light upon the existing remains and Roman history, and have proved beyond doubt that there is a great deal more truth in the early history of Rome than has generally been supposed. It has been our privilege to watch the excavations year after year, and elucidate the remains found; and our labours have been rewarded with some not unimportant discoveries. We state nothing without citing classic authority to bear us witness, and the authority so cited agrees in a marvellous way with the ruins discovered. We feel that our efforts have been appreciated by the many hundreds whom we have iv guided to these classic spots, and we hope our book may be likewise valued by those who cannot come to Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Rambles will enable the visitor who is making a brief stay in Rome to see the principal objects of interest in a short time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy following the instructions given much time will be saved, and the Rambler will not have to go over the same ground unnecessarily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisitors whose stay is limited to a few days should select the subjects they are most interested in; whilst others, who have \"plenty of time,\" are advised to divide the Rambles according to the time at their disposal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS.
