Excerpt from The Life and Principate of the Emperor NeroThe Appendices and the Notes contain complete (i believe) references to all the ancient evidence which concerns this history, and, on occasion, discussion of its value or of controversies which arise concerning it. To these Notes and Appendices I must still venture to refer the student even at this time when the examination craze threatens increasingly to degrade, if not to destroy, patient learning in the Uni versity. But the general reader's attention is not distracted from the narrative, as the whole apparatus of Inquiry is thus relegated to the end of the book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
