Notes: "The portion of this history now offered to the public embraces the period from the first Triumvirate to the death of Julius Caesar. The life and rimes of the great man by whose name it might fitly be designated, present on the one hand the close, on the other the commencement of an era. Cesar prostrated the Roman oligarchy, and laid the foundations of the Empire in the will of the middle classes. He levelled the barriers of municipality, infused provincial blood into the senate and people of Rome. Preceding Imperators had annexed provinces, Caesar began to organize the conquests of the commonwealth. From an early period of his career he was fully conscious of the real nature of the revolution on which he was embarked; but if it was his hand that moulded and directed it, the change he effected was in fact demanded by his party and enforced by circumstances. Though the structure of his personal ambition perished with him, the social foundations on which it rested remained firmly rooted in the soil; and the comprehensive imperium of his successors rose majestic and secure from the lines originally drawn by the most sagacious statesman of the commonwealth. The career of Caesar is the prelude to the history of four centuries." (From Preface).
