Annals of Caesar

G. Sihler E.

Description

The origin or source of this book as a book was in the lecture-room of my graduate students. These earnestly urged that my lectures on the Life and Letters of Julius Caesar be published, in order that they might have and use them for their better equipment as instructors. To this I finally consented. The first two chapters have been entirely recast and rewritten, but the rest of the work, apart from mere verbal changes, is here presented substantially in the form and sequence of the lectures. The added phrase in the subtitle, a critical biography, is neither unmeaning nor boastful. In a certain way these lectures were reared upon or constructed out of the ancient sources as their only material, being elaborated with an exclusive regard for the same, discarding the popular mode of an artificial modernization of figures and atmosphere.
