The Book of the Ancient Romans is an introduction to the history
and civilization of Rome from the traditional date of the founding
of the city to its fall in ad 476. Dorothy Mills again makes
history a vital thing and historians, statesmen, and poets of the
ancient world living figures. The author s aim in her two books on
the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Romans has been to use such
parts of the political history of the Greeks and Romans, of their
literature, and of their art as seem to have been the outward and
visible signs of the spirit that inspired them. With this book is
concluded the series on the ancient world. Dorothy Mills had an
uncanny ability to write history that is interesting and at the
same time based on sound scholarship. Her direct, engaging approach
is valued increasingly by the many parents in our day who are
looking for reliable materials for home study, as well as by many
private school educators. The highly-prized six volumes of her
historical works (see below) have become scarce, and so Dawn Chorus
has reprinted them in its effort to offer texts ideally suited to
the needs of a new generation of teachers and students. In a world
where the quality of education has so deteriorated, may the reissue
of this wonderful historical series shine as a beacon to a new
generation of young (and not so young) scholars Dawn Chorus
publishes five other books by Dorothy Mills: The Book of the
Ancient World; The Book of the Ancient Greeks; The People of
Ancient Israel; The Middle Ages; and Renaissance and Reformation
Times. Dawn Chorus has also republished another historical series
perfectly suited for home or school use (highly recommended in
home-school curricula): The Picturesque Tale of Progress, by Olive
Beaupr Miller. It is available in large format (9 volumes), or
smaller, double-bound format (5 volumes).
