Aurelian; or, Rome in the Third Century

a sequel to Zenobia—published nearly ten years ago under the name of ‘Probus,’ was soon republished, in several places abroad, under that of ‘Aurelian.’ So far from complaining of the innovation, I could not but regard it as a piece of good fortune, as I had myself long thought the present a more appropriate title than the one originally chosen. Add to this, that the publisher of the work, on lately proposing a new edition, urgently advised the adoption of the foreign name, and I have thought myself sufficiently warranted in an alteration which circumstances seemed almost to require, or, at least, to excuse. W. W. AURELIAN
