Excerpt: Chapter 1. Miriam, Hilda, Kenyon, Donatello Four individuals, in whose fortunes we should be glad to interest the reader, happened to be standing in one of the saloons of the sculpture-gallery in the Capitol at Rome. It was that room (the first, after ascending the staircase) in the centre of which reclines the noble and most pathetic figure of the Dying Gladiator, just sinking into his death-swoon. Around the walls stand the Antinous, the Amazon, the Lycian Apollo, the Juno; all famous productions of antique sculpture, and still shining in the undiminished majesty and beauty of their ideal life, although the marble that embodies them is yellow with time, and perhaps corroded by the damp earth in which they lay buried for centuries. Here, likewise, is seen a symbol (as apt at this moment as it was two thousand years ago) of the Human Soul, with its choice of Innocence or Evil close at hand, in the pretty figure of a child, clasping a dove to her bosom, but assaulted by a snake....

Excerpt: The Pennsylvania State University?s Electronic Classics Series was founded in August 1997, on the Hazleton campus of the Pennsylvania State University, to provide easily readable and printable electronic books for those wishing to access the classics, in English, by electronic device. The books or free to anyone wishing to download them via the Internet, for their own private use. However, they may not be used for the purposes of reproduction with the intent to make a profit. Nor are they in any way provided as a substitute for traditional, paper books. No electronic media, at the time of this publication (October 1998) has approached the readability of traditionally printed text. However, some readers find that the ability to access texts electronically suits an immediate purpose. It is the hope of the Pennsylvania State University, and the editor, that these publications may prove of use to those who access them....
