Book Description
Excerpt from Monarchs Retired From Business, Vol. 2 of 2 Galba, too, survived to hear Otho hailed as Emperor; but Galba died with no more dignity than Nero. To the sol diers who approached to slay him, he offered a donation. The men however were not to be deceived by a fallen poten tate who, when he became Emperor, had promised them a gift of money, and had forgotten to keep his word. Otho himself, when he fell into the condition of an unsceptred monarch, was determined, without however being dignified. When resolved to die, he first went to sleep, in order that at dawn of day, on awaking, he might deal the one effective blow with a steady hand. SO soundly did he sleep his last sleep, just previous to the death which he reserved for him self On awaking, that, according to Plutarch, his snoring disturbed his attendants in a neighbouring room. As for the pale and pimple-faced Vitellius, he may perhaps be considered by some as the first Emperor who resigned his dignity for when the Flavians were elevating Vespasian, he begged the army to let him go into privacy, with life; and in presence of the Senate, he unbuckled his dagger and laid it before the august assembly, in token of his resignation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Monarchs Retired From Business, Vol. 1 of 2 Whatever may be the origin of the term (the Latin form Of which, Rex, is from the Hebrew Roach, a chief, from which is derived Rayon), the first man who wore it is said to have been Shem, who is identified, by persons of more than ordinary acuteness, with Melchizedek, King of Salem. There is probably a truer, certainly a prettier, legend, which makes of Nimrod the first King who ever wore a crown. Pope Gregory VII. Used to say that the priesthood was de rived from God himself, but that imperial power had first been assumed by Nimrod. The story runs thus, as told in the Rabbinical traditions, and it fails to confirm the asser tion of Gregory.

Book Description
Excerpt from Monarchs Retired From Business, Vol. 2 of 2 Two died by their own hand, - Nero and Otho. Two were despatched by means of poison, - Tiberius (it is believed) and Claudius. Some of these, who lived to know and see that their sovereign power had passed into the keeping of a successor, may come under our notice as unsceptred monarchs. The detail of their conduct belongs to our subject; and we may say at once, that in no one case was that conduct marked by dignity. When Nero learned that he had a master, in Galba, he upset the table at which he was seated, feasting, dashed to pieces his two most favourite crystal glasses, called for a box of poison, which he was afraid to use, and then rushed into the Servilian gardens to think upon what he should do next. There, or within his sleeping-room, he passed a miserable night; and when, at daybreak, he found that his Guards had not only deserted him, but had carried off the little gold box containing the poison, and even the very covering of his bed, he ran headlong down to the Tiber, where he stopped short on the bank, and slowly walked back again. It was then, barefooted and half-dressed as he was, that he was encountered by the faithful Phaon, who flung a cloak over his shoulders, tied an old handkerchief about his head, hoisted the bewildered wretch on to a horse, and rode away with him towards a country-house, four miles off. In danger of discovery, the fugitive party abandoned their horses, scrambled through thickets, brakes, bye-paths, and brambles, and at length reached the neighbourhood of the desired asylum. The tender feet of the Emperor were mangled and bloody, despite the care which had been shown by his friend to spread his cloak upon the ground for the ex-Emperor to tread upon.
