Excerpt from Stories From History
Julius Caesar, the great Roman dictator, or, as he is by some called, the first emperor of Rome, invaded and conquered Britain, and in a great measure brought it under the yoke of Rome. This Julius Caesar, who wrote the history of his own wars and conquests, is the first real historian who has made mention of the Britons. He calls them barbarians,-and so, in comparison with the Romans, at that time the most civilized people in the world, they certainly were, - yet, from many circumstances which he himself mentions, it is certain that they were acquainted with the art of working mines, the use of metals, and the con struction of many curious and useful articles.
