To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
155 Eome was a new nation, and, from the mixed character of its population, must have required some lawgiver of this kind. Eomulus, as Schwegler shows, was not a particularly religious person ; nor would his frequent wars and the pressing necessity of regulating the civil and military constitution of the state have allowed him much time for the aiEFairs of religion. JS'or is it true that Numa is supposed to have founded the whole form of religious worship. There must have been forms for those G...reek and other deities already established by Romulus ; and for those Sabine ones established by Tatius on the Quirinal. I^Tor were the forms intro- duced by Kuma altogether new, as Schwegler himself will tell us immediately. "The legend of ^N'uma, " proceeds that author, "is further refuted by the following consideration. Had Xuma really established the observances and institutions which tradition ascribes to him, these must have been peculiar to the Romans ; or where they are found among other nations, these nations must have borrowed them from the Romans.
