. History of Rome and the Roman people, from its origin to the establishment of the Christian empire . only reached at the ageof experi-ence and maturity; moreover, of seven kings, two only finished their life and their reign mpeace. So Newton, only allowing 17 years as an average for each reign, reduced these 244years to 119, and placed the founding of Rome about Niebuhr has remarked thatVenice, a republic which also had elective chiefs, reckoned from 805 to 1311, 40 doges ; whichgives an average of years for each. We can infer nothing from these calculations, for, inSpain, from 1516 to (243 years), there were only seven kings, but not elective ; as manyin France, from 987 to 1223 ( ), and from to , 240 years, there would havebeen, reckoning as the Restoration did, seven kings, two of whom died a violent death, a tliirdfinished his life in exile, and a fourth died at the age of ten. This chronology of the early times of Rome must therefore be suspicious liki the historyof its first kings. We will fcjUow it, ho\ve\er. in default a belter one. ^.
