Excerpt from Stories From the History of Italy, in a Connected Series, From the Invasion of Alaric to the Present Time In those ancient times of which we have no certain record, and which poets have made the period of their golden age, Italy is supposed to have been peopled by a race of shepherds and herdsmen, who supported themselves on the fruits of the earth, and lived in harmony and content. Afterwards, warlike tribes, who forsook their native shores to settle in this fertile country, introduced the use of arms, and changed the customs and pursuits of the peaceful inhabitants. A variety of little states arose, each possessing laws of its own, and perpetually at war with its neighbours. At length, about 753 years before Christ, Romulus, a young shepherd of royal birth, laid the foundations of the city, whose laws were to govern the world. Seven kings reigned over Rome in succession.
