Roman Life in Pilney's Time
This work describes the family and social life of the ancient Romans, discussing the education of the children, the marriage customs, the treatment of slaves, the methods of conducting business, the forms of amusements, and the modes of travel. * * * * * In the literature required for Chautauqua for 1897-98, we have found Maurice Pellison's " Roman Life in Pliny's Days." a translation from the French, a satisfactory volume. Not only is the epoch an interesting one, but the method is good and the style in the translation easy and colloquial. The ever delightful Pliny is freely drawn upon, although M. Pellison has wisely chosen to quote only when desirable. rather than to connect many excerpts with running comments. The Roman of the age of the Antonines is described from birth to burial, and by none could he be better observed than by Pliny, for he was more than a lover of literature; he lived a practical life and took part in public affairs. -Public Opinion, Vol. 23
