The end which the author has had in view is twofold: first, to communicate such information in respect to the subjects of his narratives as is important for the general reader to possess; and, secondly, to draw such moral lessons from the events described and the characters delineated as they may legitimately teach to the people of the present age. Though written in a direct and simple style, they are intended for, and addressed to, minds possessed of some considerable degree of maturity, for such minds only can fully appreciate the character and action which exhibits itself, as nearly all that is described in these volumes does, in close combination with the conduct and policy of governments, and the great events of international history. CONTENTS. Chapter I. MARIUS AND SYLLA. II. CAESAR'S EARLY YEARS. III. ADVANCEMENT TO THE CONSULSHIP. IV. THE CONQUEST OF GAUL. V. POMPEY. VI.
