Excerpt from The Invasion of Britain by Julius Caesar: With Replies to the Remarks of the Astronomer-Royal and of the Late Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford The following pages were commenced with a view to delivering a Lecture before a Literary Society in Sussex, where the subject would have possessed a local interest; but the discussion was soon found to involve a minuteness of detail which was little suited to a general audience. The author, therefore, rather than confess that his time had been thrown away (an Opinion which will still be entertained by many of his readers), determined on submitting the result of his labour (or rather of his amusement) to the judgment of the public.

Excerpt from Ancient Britain and the Invasions of Julius Caesar About the middle of the eighteenth century a spirit of antiquarian curiosity was aroused in England. The Society of Antiquaries, which had been founded in 1717, received in 1752 a charter from George the Second; and in 1770 appeared the first number of their principal organ, Archaeo logia, which is still in course of publication. Many of the earlier papers were crude and superficial, showing keen interest in the things of the past, but naturally betraying ignorance of the methods by which alone the significance of antiquarian discoveries could be ascertained. Early in the nineteenth century, however, Sir Richard Colt Hoare and his friend, William Cunnington, began to excavate the barrows of Wiltshire; and with their labours the era of scientific investigation may be said to have begun. Hoare had in earlier life been an ardent fox-hunter; but, as he grew Older, he found that barrow-digging was a pas time more exciting still. Craniology was at that time unborn; and Hoare omitted to measure the numerous skeletons which he discovered or to utilize them for the advancement of ethnology. Even the work that he pro fessed to do was often marred by a lack of thoroughness which, although it was inevitable in a pioneer, irritated the critical spirit of laterexplorers.l But with all its limita tions the Ancient History of North and South Wiltshire, the first volume of which appeared in 1812, was an important work. A few years earlier, John Frere had recorded in Archaeologia 2 the discoveries of stone implements which he had made at Hoxne in Suffolk. Such discoveries had of course in innumerable instances passed unrecorded. In the British Isles, as in many other lands, flint arrow heads were regarded by the peasants who found them as fairy-darts; while stone axes, which in Scotland, Ireland.

Excerpt from The History of England, From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688, Vol. 2 of 8 Henry, who had vigorously Opposed all the enter prises of his sons, were received with open arms, and were continued in those offices which they had honourably discharged to their former master. A This prudent conduct might be the result of re ec tion; but in a Prince, like Richard, so much guided by passion, and so little by policy, it was common ly ascribed to a principle still more virtuous and more honourable. Richard, that he might make atonement to one parent for his breach of duty to the other, imme diately sent orders for releasing the Queen Dowager from the confinement in which she had long been detained; and he entrusted her with the government of England till his arrival in that kingdom. His bounty to his brother John was rather profuse and imprudent. Besides bestowing on him the county of Mortaigne, in Normandy, granting him a pension of four thousand marks a year, and marrying him to Avisa, the daughter of the Earl of Gloucester, by whom he inherited all the possessions of that opulent family, be increased his appanage, which the late King had destined him, by other extensive grants and concessions. He conferred on him the whole estate of William Peverell, which had escheated to the crown He put him in possession of eight cas tles, with all the forests and honours annexed to them: He delivered over to him no less than six Earldoms, Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Nottingham, Dorset, Lancaster, and Derby. And endeavouring, by favours, to fix that vicious Prince in his duty, he put it too much in his power, whenever he pleased, to depart from it.

Excerpt from A Concise English History Very little is known of Britain before its invasion by Julius Caesar, who, having subdued the tribes that occupied Gaul, determined to make a descent on Britain. He desired to add the island to his con quests, as he had heard from the Gallic merchants that it was a fine and fertile country. According to the latest researches Caesar landed near Hythe He found the country ruled by a number of petty princes who were constantly making war on each other, but now united to oppose the invader. But their undisciplined troops were no match for the Roman legions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Julius Caesar, one of the world's greatest generals, learnt his first lessons in the art of war when he was still mainly involved in political rather than military life, suppressing the unruly Lusitanian tribes while governor of Spain. In 45 B.C., the year before his assassination, he was back in Spain for his last victory. The intervening, years of campaign saw him earning a formidable military reputation. Nine years' fighting in Gaul were his "school in the grand operations of war", during which time he also led two invasions of Britain. Two years after crushing the united Gaulish armies at the battle of Alesia, Caesar's forces crossed the Rubicon to take on Pompey's army in civil war. Campaigns in Egypt and across Northern Africa (defeating Scipio) followed, before Caesar's return to Spain to inflict final defeat on the Pompeian army at Munda. Before writing his classic account of Caesar's campaings, Dodge visited all of the great general's know battlefields. Familiar with their topography and gaining insight into the course of the battles as a result, he provides descriptions of the actions that are distinguished by their clarity. Dodge goes on to examine Caesar's strategy and tactics and the structure and operation of his army, in detail, and surveys the stagnation of the art of war in the Roman Empire after Caesar's death. In this unrivalled work, he shows that "Taken in all his characters, Caesar is the greatest man in Antiquity". Classic account of Caesar's campaigns Military analysis of Caesar's methods Many charts, maps, plans of battle and illustrations."--Jacket.
