Excerpt from Supplement No. 2, Caesar Slides: In Continuation of a Catalogue of Lantern Slides, for the Use of High Schools, Academies, Colleges and Universities; Issued April 1, 1902, and Supplement No. 1, Issued October 1, 1903

With the idea of supplying this lack I spent the summer of 1899 in France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Belgium and England, travel ing over miles by wheel, making a study of the topography of Caesar's campaigns. With a 5x7 long-focus camera about two hundred and fifty views were taken with the express purpose of illustrating the various sites to students in high schools and colleges.

For the past four years slides from these negatives have been used in Caesar classes under my supervision with the most satisfactory results. In lectures before teachers' associations (especially the Michigan School masters' Club) they have aroused great interest. In response to nu merous inquiries, I have at last made arrangements whereby I am now able to supply these slides to any school or college wishing to purchase them. I have no hesitation in saying that this collection of slides is the most important aid toward making' Caesar vivid and interesting that has recently been brought within the reach of schools.

In' the following list all slides numbered below are from my own original negatives. Those numbered above are from various sowces. The maps of the Gallic War are from the atlas accompanying N apoleon's Julius Caesar except where these have been proved erroneous by the later investigations of ('olomel Stoffel, in which case the maps of Colonel Stoffel have been used. In addition to the maps numerous other slides of interest to teachers of Caesar are catalogued.
