第 93 頁 - If a man were called to fix the period in the history of the world, during which the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous, he would, without hesitation, name that which elapsed from the death of Domitian to the accession of Commodus.
第 xxix 頁 - I will not dissemble the first emotions of joy on the recovery of my freedom, and, perhaps, the establishment of my fame. But my pride was soon humbled, and a sober melancholy was spread over my mind, by the idea that I had taken an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable companion, and that whatsoever might be the future date of my History, the life of the historian must be short and precarious.
第 1 頁 - In the second century of the Christian Era, the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth, and the most civilized portion of mankind.
第 xii 頁 - In the solitude of a sequestered village he bestowed a liberal and even learned education on his only daughter.

第 60 頁 - Such was the solid construction of the Roman highways, whose firmness has not entirely yielded to the effort of fifteen centuries.
