PREFATORY NOTE 'OR this edition of the Decline and Fall the Notes and Appendices which I added to my former edition (1896-1900) will be revised, and the Maps improved. In the first volume more changes have been made than will be necessary in its successors. While the Introduction has been abridged, a large number of new Notes have been inserted, and the Appendix has been expanded, and in many parts rewritten. The illustrations, which are a new feature, have been selected and procured by Mr. O. M. Dalton, of the British Museum. CAMBRIDGE J. B. B. |
