Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Excerpt from Mademoiselle Mori: A Tale of Modern Rome The beauty and interest of Ancient Rome have been long the theme of travellers, poets, and historians, and it is an interest that can never be forgotten; but now a new one is springing up there. Besides the dead Past, there is a living Present, and the aim of the following pages is to give some description of the thoughts and feelings that stir Modern Rome and some picture of that every-day life in the Eter nal City, which would not be more wonderful, more beauti ful, or more interesting than every-day life elsewhere, if it were not that it has been of late years marked by some touch of heroism, and that it may ere long be so distinguished again.
