About the Book

The publisher of this book utilises modern printing technologies as well as photocopying processes for reprinting and preserving rare works of literature that are out-of-print or on the verge of becoming lost. This book is one such reprint.

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ROMAN LIFE OF THE JUGURTHINE PERIOD. CHAPTER VIII. ROMAN LIFE OF THE JUGURTHINE PERIOD. Sallust. Literally translated by the Rev. Jolm Selby Watson, M. A. London, 1889. Cicero, Marcus Tullius: The Orations of. Literally translated by C. D. Yonge, B. A. 4 vols. London, 1890.

It is not, then, the work of any eye witness, not even of a contemporary; the information is all derived, with the exception of a knowledge of the theatre of the war obtained from a residence in the country. In spite of all this, our information concerning this war is drawn chiefly from Sallust. His history is not a source, but, unfortunately, in the absence of sources, we can do no better than accept his work in place of the source. Perhaps no better illustration could be given of the uncertain foundation upon which our knowledge of the past sometimes rests. What is the value of Sallust's History? Mommsen (Roman Hi...
