Author Description

Excerpt from Caesar's Conquest of Gaul: An Historical Narrative (Being Part I. Of the Larger Work in the Same Subject) Nor is there any reason, apart from the consideration of what subjects are most remunerative, why Caesar should only be used as an elementary text-book. The reform which I hope to see one day accomplished is that he should be read by more advanced students as well. Boys in the highest class of a public school could easily read the whole work through, side by side with other authors, in the course of a couple of years. By doing so, their knowledge of Latin would gain at least as much as their knowledge of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
