Excerpt from Caesar's Gallic War: With Introduction, Notes, Vocabulary, and Grammatical Appendix

In its general plan the present edition of Caesar is based on that of Lowe and Ewing, first published in 1891. It retains the features which gave distinction to that book, the most important of which are thus described in its preface:

"The vocabularies, notes, illustrations, and explanatory matter have been placed on the same page with the text, thus saving the students time, which is uselessly spent in turning leaves and searching for explanations which are here placed immediately before him. At the same time, self-reliance is secured by the use of a separate text in the class room, without either notes or vocabulary. The special vocabularies have been arranged so that the first four books and the rest of the annotated text may be read consecutively, or the war with Ariovistus (Bk. I, chaps. 30-54) may be omitted and the valuable and less familiar, matter substituted from the annotated chapters of Bks. V-VII. An opportunity for sight reading is afforded in the unannotated parts of these latter books."

While the general plan of the earlier edition has been followed, in all details the book has been rewritten from beginning to end. In its preparation three definite purposes have been kept steadily in mind:

1. To help the pupil to follow the narrative understandingly.
2. To give the pupil, especially at the beginning of his reading, a systematic drill on all the common syntactical principles.
3. To exclude all bits of antiquarian and grammatical lore which, however valuable in themselves, have no direct bearing on an appreciation of Caesar's language or story.

The Study of Caesar's Narrative. It is surely a pedagogical mistake to let a pupil carry away from the study of Caesar nothing but a memory of ablatives absolute and indirect discourse.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book is Julius Caesar's firsthand account of his campaigns to conquer Gaul, a region encompassing present-day France and neighboring areas. Written during the final years of his governorship, Caesar's narrative provides a unique perspective on this pivotal period, offering insights into his military strategies and the political landscape of the time. Caesar's prose is clear and concise, detailing his motivations, tactics, and interactions with both allies and adversaries. Through his words, readers witness his innovative military techniques, such as building bridges across the Rhine for rapid troop deployment and employing siege towers to overcome fortified cities, techniques that forever altered the course of warfare. The Gallic Wars is more than a historical document; it is a testament to Caesar's political acumen and literary skill. His account offers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of an ambitious general navigating a complex web of alliances, betrayals, and shifting loyalties. Caesar emerges not only as a brilliant military strategist but also as a shrewd politician, adept at exploiting opportunities and maintaining control. The significance of Caesar's conquest cannot be overstated. It brought vast territories under Roman rule, reshaped the political landscape of Europe, and set the stage for the Roman Empire's expansion. His writings, preserved for centuries, continue to captivate readers interested in ancient history, military strategy, and the enduring legacy of one of Rome's most influential figures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de ref. del art�culo: 9781331087601_0
