This complete edition of Caesar's Commentaries is made up of all eight of Caesar's catalogs on the Gallic War as well as all three of his catalogs on the Civil War masterfully translated into English by W. A. MacDevitt. Caesar's Commentaries are an outstanding account of outstanding happenings by one of the very most exceptional men in the annals of the world. Julius Caesar himself was one of the very most eminent authors of this where he lived. His commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars are written with a purity, accuracy, and perspicuity, which order approbation. These are tasteful without affectation, and beautiful without ornament. Of both catalogs which he made up on Analogy, and those under the name of Anti-Cato, scarcely any fragment is conserved; but we may rest assured of the justness of the observations on words, which were created by an author a lot recognized by the excellence of his own compositions. His poem entitled The Journey, which was probably an enjoyable narrative, is also totally lost. All of Caesar's works that stay intact are contained in this edition of his commentaries.
It is to the honor of Caesar, that when he previously obtained the supreme ability, he exercised it with a amount of moderation beyond what was generally expected by those who possessed fought on the side of the Republic. His time was almost completely occupied with open public affairs, in the management of which, though he employed many brokers, he appears to have had nothing in the character of actual minister.
Caesar deprecated a lingering loss of life, and wished that his own might be sudden and fast. And your day before he passed on, the dialog at supper, in the house of Marcus Lepidus, turning after what was the most qualified way of dying, he provided his opinion and only a loss of life that is sudden and unexpected. He passed on in the fifty-sixth season of his age, and was positioned amidst the Gods.
