1t is curiousy modern stuff. The ancient
Romans were in many ways very like ourselves
Their great city Itself owed its growth IN part
TO the operation of just such instincts as have
determined the trend Of population in our own

crcnce to their being detached from all other
buildings. surrounded by streets, as Islands are
surrounded by water. In the three or four
stories of these lodging houses the Romans were
crowded into rooms which. the author notes,

The works aiming at the development OF such
an interest are not by any means as numerous
as one would wish, because the scholar VINO Is
