Author Description

Excerpt from The History of Tacitus: Translated Into English, With Notes and a Map Following the precedent of former translators, which seems to be in accordance with English usage, we have adopted the title in preference to the plural which is the author's own designation. The singular word, which in English has probably a more extended signification than in Latin, properly represents a work which, like the present, possesses complete unity of design.
