Description

THE HISTORY OF ROME IS THE MOST REMARKABLE HISTORY IN THE WORLD, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO EVERY EDUCATED PERSON. ROME IS NOW THE CAPITAL OF ITALY AND THE CHIEF SEAT OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE WORKS OF THE ROMANS WERE ALL USEFUL, AND SO SOLIDLY CONSTRUCTED THAT MANY OF THEIR CAMPS AND ROADS, AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THEIR BATHS AND OTHER BUILDINGS EXIST TO THE PRESENT DAY. MRS. GRAY TAKE US ON A JOURNEY THAT STARTS WITH ROMULUS AND CONTINUES ON A EPIC LEVEL ALL THE WAY THROUGH MARK ANTHONY. Elizabeth Caroline Hamilton Gray , 1800 – 21 February 1887) was a Scottish historian and travel author, born in Alva, as the eldest daughter of James Raymond Johnstone. After marrying John Hamilton Gray in June 1829, Gray moved to Bolsover Castle in England, where she lived until shortly before her death. Gray became interested in the history of the Etruscans after visiting an exhibition of their artefacts in London organised by Domenico Campanari in 1837. She pursued the subject on a visit to Italy in 1837–1839, drawing on contacts in German and Italian archaeological circles. In 1840 she published Tour to the Sepulchres of Etruria , which served as an account of her archaeological research. She then wrote a general History of Rome 1843–1844. As a woman, Gray was attacked for conducting historical research.
