Three of the papers in this volume have already appeared in The Atlantic Monthly: A Poet's Toll, The Phrase-Maker, and A Roman Citizen. The author is indebted to the Editors for permission to republish them. The illustration on the title page is reproduced from the poster of the Roman Exposition of 1911, drawn by Duilio Cambeliotti, printed by Dr. E. Chappuis.
The main purpose of these Roman sketches is to show that the men and women of ancient Rome were like ourselves.
Born into life!—'tis we, And not the world, are new; Our cry for bliss, our plea, Others have urged it too— Our wants have all been felt, our errors made before.
