Opis: Caesar's Conquest of Gaul - Holmes T. Rice

Excerpt from Caesar's Conquest of Gaul: An Historical Narrative (Being Part I. Of the Larger Work in the Same Subject)

In November, 1899, Messrs. Macmillan published for me a large volume, called Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, the first part of which contained an historical narrative of the conquest, while the second consisted of articles, systematically grouped in seven sections, on all questions of Gallic and Gallo-Roman history relating to the narrative. Professor Tyrrell, Mr. George Macmillan, and various critics, notably Mr. Haverfield in the English Historical Review and Mr. Peskett in the Classical Review, have suggested that the first part, reissued as a separate volume, would interest many readers who had not leisure or inclination to study the second. I have been guided by their advice; and although I doubt whether many people in this country would expect to find any narrative of the conquest of Gaul entertaining, I hope that every one who endures to the end of the first chapter of this little book will find it worth while to read on. I have made a few slight alterations and added a few sentences and footnotes; and, in revising the narrative, I have taken note of the observations of eminent scholars in this country, in France and Germany, and in the United States of America, for whose informing criticisms I am not less grateful than for the favourable opinions which they have so generously expressed. Two preliminary notes contained in the first part of the larger edition have been omitted.
