The condition of the Roman Emperors has never yet been fully appreciated; nor has it been sufficiently perceived in what respects it was absolutely unique. There was but one Rome: no other city, as we are satisfied by the collation of many facts, either of ancient or modern times, has ever rivalled this astonishing metropolis in the grandeur of magnitude; and not many - if we except the cities of Greece, none at all - in the grandeur of architectural display...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas de Quincey

A child prodigy, an avid reader as a child, and a precocious classicist, Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859) did everything to escape the epithets they wanted to attach to his epitaph. In his adolescence, he ran away from school to spend winters in poverty, wandering the streets; in his youth, he entered Oxford but left without a degree because he failed his final exam. Addicted to opium and drowning in debt, he wrote more than two hundred articles on philosophy, history, aesthetics, literary criticism, and politics, many of which are collected in books.
