ARCHÆOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL
PROMENADE LECTURES
ON THE ROMAN ANTIQUITIES,
BY MR. S. RUSSELL FORBES, 93 VIA BABUINO.
It is acknowledged by the élite of the British and American visitors to Rome, that the only way to understand and enjoy the Antiquities of the Eternal City is to attend the interesting and instructive Archæological and Historical Lectures delivered on the spot by Mr. Forbes, whose long residence and close study have qualified him to be an authority on the subject.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Mr. Forbes's long personal acquaintance with Rome gives him access to sources of information which are beyond the reach of ordinary tourists, and confer special value on his oral as well as printed explanations of the antiquities of the city."—Swiss Times.
"Mr. Forbes has been a close student of Roman history, and for a period of some sixteen years has been familiar with all the excavations and the developments they have made. To be in his company and to hear his explanations is therefore to reap many advantages which even the best informed student of written history could not gain if left to himself."—Boston Journal.
"Mr. Russell Forbes is endowed with a thorough classical education and great ability of research, and it is most delightful to be privileged to hear his learned lectures, and while here to be conducted by him."—Cleveland Herald.
"His explanations are remarkably clear and concise."—Hartford Evening Post.
"Mr. Forbes has done most excellent and scholarly work upon the recent excavations in demonstrating by the classics the exact location of ground famous in the history of Rome; and though he often dissipates beyond hope of revival popular conceptions, he always supplies a clear historical view."—Boston Transcript.
"Mr. Russell Forbes's lectures are not merely dry, pedantic expounds of history and art, but are truly most admirable, entertaining, and instructive interpretations. Englishmen and Americans have always found Mr. Russell Forbes's lectures one of the great pleasures in going to see our monuments, and of special and uncommon advantage on their trips."—Roman News.
