XVI. ON HISTORY. 1^5 nies of Pliny, and others, prove the insufficiency of those edicts to restrain the inhabitants of Rome from carrying their/^ liouses to an enormous height. Many families were lodged in one house, or insulag, as at Paris, a different family occupj- ing each story. Some modern authors assert, that, in the reign of Augustus, Rome was fifty miles in circuit, and con- tained 453,000 men able to bear arms ; which, with a pro* portionate number of women, children, old men, &c. wou...ld I make the whole number of inhabitants not less than three mil- lions. That accurate writer, Bl. de Messance in his Recherches sur la Po]mlcdio7iy assigns to Paris, 23,565 houses, 71,12 4 families and 576,000 inhabitants ; and Pvlr. Gibbon says, that if we calculate the number of the inhabitants of ancient Rome, according to the principles of M. de Messance, we may estimate theni^bout the number of 12,000,000, a calcu- lation not improbable ; a number not excessive for that metio- polis of the world, although much exceeding the population of the greatest cities of modern Europe.
