Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World's Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 17: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master ProductionsLiving in a great commonwealth, surrounded by many enemies, he saw the wisdom of inuring his body (nature's own weapon) to warlike exercises, and disciplining his tongue for public oratory in a style conformable to his life and character.

Butthese prodigies had no effect upon the impetuous and fiery temper of the consul Flaminius, whose natural promptness had been much heightened by his late unexpected victory over the Gauls, when he fought them contrary to the order of the senate and the advice of his colleague. Fabius, on the other side, thought it not seasonable to engage with the enemy; not that he much regarded the prodigies, which he thought too strange to be easily understood, though many were alarmed by them but in regard that the Carthaginians were but few, and in want of money and supplies, be deemed it best not to meet in the field a general whose army had been tried in many encounters, and whose Object was a battle, but to send aid to their allies, con trol the movements of the various subject cities, and let the force and vigor of Hannibal waste away and expire, like a flame, for want of the aliment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
