Synopsis
Excerpt from The Last Days of Papal Rome: 1850 1870
Rome, since September 20, 1870, has so changed as to render the reconstruction of her past most difficult, a past complicated by historical circum stances and by reason of its geography; a city not really in the centre of Italy, the political capital of a small Italian State and the religious capital of the Catholic world, girdled by a desert and marshes, almost skirting the sea, yet not a maritime city; subject to the enervating Sirocco, enclosed within walls, of which two-thirds surrounded villas, vine yards, meadows, malarial cane fields and ruins.

About the Author
Trevelyan was an English historian whose work, written for the general reader as much as for the history student, shows an appreciation for the Whig traiditon in English thought and reflects a keen interest in the Anglo-Saxon element in the English constitution. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He became the Regius Professor of modern history at Cambridge in 1927 and master of Trinity College in 1940, retiring in 1951.
