History of Julius Caesar. Volume 2

The aim of the History of Julius Caesar is to prove that, when Providence raises up such men as CA|sar, Charlemagne, and Napoleon, it is to trace out to peoples the path they ought to follow; to stamp with the seal of their genius a new era; and to accomplish in a few years the labour of many centuries. Happy the peoples who comprehend and follow them! Woe to those who misunderstand and combat them!
