This extraordinary spectacle was beheld by a numerous assembly of both sexes with great...
Sivu 177 - Romans, is become the happy seat of liberty, plenty, and letters ; flourishing in all the arts and refinements of civil life : yet running perhaps the same course which Rome itself had run before it ; from virtuous industry to wealth ; from wealth to luxury ; from luxury to an impatience of discipline and corruption...
