Author Description

Excerpt from The Histories of Tacitus: Books III., IV., And V., With Introduction and Notes IN my edition of the First and Second Books of the Histories I followed the text of Baiter and Orelli, as revised by Meiser. In consequence of the delay in the continuation of that revision, I have now, in editing the later books, adopted Halm' s text. I have again to acknowledge my debt to the com mentary of Heraus, and also to that of E. Wolff. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
