Caesar: Scenes From The Fifth And Sixth Books Of The Gallic War (1881) - Tapa blanda

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

This little edition has no pretensions to originality. It is an attempt to make the most for young boys of an interesting portion of Caesar the best Latin book, I believe, for those who have just emerged from the Piincipia. In the Introduction I have tried to make the subject-matter interesting to boys, by giving fully the setting of the picture. In the notes I have tried to take them to their grammars and to the study of the kmguage. Where readings differ, I have in all cases chosen the easiest, and I have intentionally made no mention of other interpretations. Kraner sexcellent School Edition has long been so well known to me that I could not, had I wished, have been independent of its help. My other authorities are Napoleon s Histoire de Jules Cesar, Mommsen, Thierry s Histoire des Gaulois, and Mr. Fronde s Caesar. For one of the illustrations and the Map of the Campaign I am indebted to the Atlas to Napoleon swork, and for others of the illustrations to Max Jahn s Atlas zur Geschichte des Kriegswesens.
