Commentaries of Caesar. On reading the account of the standard bearer who so boldly led the legions at the first landing in Britain, the young people expressed considerable wonder as to the personality of that hero, making many conjectures as to his origin, his deeds in the army, and his promotion. It then occurred to the author that a story might be written which would give an accurate picture of the Gallic campaigns, and lend character, individual and national, to the chief actors. This book is an effort at such a story. Much reading and study have gone to its making. While there has been a constant ef Fbrt to portray the customs and beliefs of Rpmans, Gauls, Germans, and Britons, it is hoped that the characters and incidents Tj are not hidden under loads of glaring facts as to Ncustoms and habits. The author further hopes that the story is presented in English which is pure and forceful, and in some degree, attractive.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

About the Book A library catalog (catalogue) is a register of the bibliographic items found in a library or network of libraries that are spread over several locations. There are many other types of catalogs, including exhibition catalogs, music catalogs, database catalogs, font catalogs, stamp catalogs and auction catalogs.Also in this Book Contemporary political science began to take on its current form during the latter half of the 19th century. It then began to separate itself from political philosophy, which dates from the time and writings of Chanakya, Aristotle, and Plato almost 2,500 years ago. The term "political science" was not always distinguished from political philosophy, and the modern discipline draws on aspects of moral philosophy, political economy, political theology, history, and other fields. And in this Book In a democracy the political process is the means by which governments are elected, and new governments are formed. It includes a study of political parties and movements that are formed to influence and obtain political power. In non-democratic systems the political process will take different forms, which may also depend on alliances of forces that do not include open and free elections.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
