State after state of ancient Italy, adorned with the arts and culture of a thousand years, fell before the concentrated energy of Roman will, guiding tlie resistless force of the Ro- man sword. The Roman is stem and strong. He loves bravery, and is not averse to the virtues of sincere and open conduct. He is practical, legislative, organizing; but he has no innate love of letters, and no genius for art. " Tu regere imperio populos, Bomane, memento/' was in the heart of the Roman, ages before it... found melodious utterance in Virgil's hexameter. But the empire of Rome was not that of rude force alone. A love of legal order, a syste- matic administration of justice, a strict subordination of the members of society and the members of the family, were the moral foundations on which the state reposed. From Greece, long before the conquest, she borrowed the materials of her eariiest code ; and when the progress of time demanded the elegancies of literature, Greece was the source from which the genial influence came.
