Title: Here they go...
Product review: This is a compendium of excerpts reprinted from contemporary sources - mostly just four of them, plus a bevvy of unnamed ones. The author supplies tie-in text that does not get us any further, and is often written in strange language ("...Rome had declined... into a broken ant heap of faction and sedition..."). And there are spelling mistakes that careful proofreading should have avoided.
