Tacitus. — THE HISTORY OF TACITUS TRANSLATED

INTO ENGLISH. By A. J. Church, M.A., and W. J. Brodribb, M.A. With Notes and a Map. New and Cheaper

Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

The translators have endeavoured to adhere as closely to the original as was thought consistent with a proper observance of English idiom. At the same time, it has been their aim to reproduce the precise expressions of the author. The campaign of Civilis is elucidated in a note of some length, which is illustrated by a map, containing the names of places and of tribes occurring in the work. There is also a complete account of the Roman army as it was constituted in the time of Tacitus. This work is characterised by the Spectator as “a scholarly and faithful translation.”
