Not illustrated. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ...him for having been the first to reveal the conspiracy, and Vettius was cast into prison. Towards the end of Caesar's praetorship, a circumstance occurred which created a great stir at the time. Clodius had an intrigue with Pompeia, Caesar's wife, and had entered Caesar's house in disguise at the festival of the Bona Dea, at which men were not allowed to be present, and which was always celebrated at the house of one of the higher magistrates. He was detected and brought to trial; but though Caesar divorced his wife, he would not appear against Clodius, for the latter was a favourite with the people, and was closely connected with Caesar's party. In this year Pompey returned to Rome from the Mithridatic war, and quietly disbanded his army. At the expiration of his praetorship Caesar obtained the province of Further Spain, B. C. 61. But his debts had now become so great, and his creditors so clamorous for payment, that he was obliged to apply to Crassus for assistance before leaving Rome. This he readily obtained; Crassus became surety for him, as did also others of his friends; but these and other circumstances detained him so long that he did not reach his province till the summer. Hitherto Caesar's public career had been confined almost exclusively to political life; and he had had scarcely any opportunity of displaying that genius for war which has enrolled his name among the greatest generals of the world. He was now for the first time at the head of a regular army, and soon shewed that he knew how to make use of it. He commenced his campaign by subduing the mountainous tribes of Lusitania, which had plundered the country, took the town of Brigantium in the country of the Gallaeci, and gained many other advantages over the enemy.

Excerpt from A Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography: Based on the Larger Dictionaries In writing the Mythological articles care has been taken to avoid, as far as possible, all indelicate allusions, as the Work will probably be much in the hands of young persons. It is ofso much importance to discriminate between the Greek and Roman mythology, that an account of the Greek divinities is given under their Greek names, and of the Roman divinities under their Latin names, a practice which is universally adoptedby the continental writers, which has received the sanction of some of our macholmandwhichis moreoverofsuch great utilityinguardingagainstendless confusions and mistakes as to require no apology for its introduction into this Work.
