De Bello Gallico

Excerpt from De Bello Gallico: Commentarius Sextus; With English Notes The sixth book of the Commentaries, containing Caesar's valuable but far too brief account of the social institutions and religious beliefs of the ancient Gauls and Germans, opens out a wide field of enquiry and discussion, lying for the most part out of the range of a school edition such as the present. I have contented myself with drawing the reader's attention to the more important points and sometimes in dicating further sources of information. In preparing my notes I have derived great assistance from the various editions ofthe Commentaries and the works of reference to which I have expressed my obligations in my editions of the previous books. For the part relating to Gaul M. Desjardins' Géographie de la Gaule Romaine is almost indispensable. Some special obligations are mentioned in their place. A map taken on a reduced scale and with some alterations from the Atlas to Napoleon's Histoire de Jules Cesar accompanies this edition.
