Summary
The biographical notice prefixed to the present edition of Rome in the Middle Ages is a translation, with some omissions, of the Vorwort to Gregorovius's Römische Tagebücher. This preface was written and the journals were edited, as the public are aware, by Gregorovius's life-long friend, the late Professor Friedrich Althaus, to whose son, Mr T. F. Althaus, I now wish to convey my thanks for his courtesy in allowing me to translate his father's Essay.
My thanks are also once more due to Mr G. F. Hill, of the British Museum, who has aided me in the revision of the volume from beginning to end. The various mistakes pointed out by critics have, I hope, been corrected in the present edition.
