\centerline{PREFACE}
T{\sc HIS} edition is intended not only for teachers and pupils, but also
for general readers who may wish to become acquainted with Caesar's
masterpiece and for scholars who have not time or inclination to read my
larger books. The critical notes are printed along with the others at the
foot of the text, where they will be more easily understood than if they
were relegated to a critical appendix; and the references which they
contain will enable any one who may wish to specialize to pu . . .

\centerline{THE TEXT OF THE COMMENTARIES}
\bigskip
E{\sc VERY} one who can read the Commentaries with interest will want to
know how far the manuscripts in which they have been handed down to us
correspond with what Caesar wrote; for if he will think, he will see that
none of them correspond with it exactly, and that although scholars have
been trying ever since 1469, when the first printed edition was published,
to remove the errors, many must still and always will remain. The o . . .

F{\sc OR} the history of the first seven years of Caesar's conquest of Gaul
our principal authority is Caesar himself. It is, indeed, impossible to
grasp the full meaning of his narrative without the help of the modern
scholars who have contributed so much to the task of solving the problems
which the Commentaries present. It is true, moreover, that Cicero's
writings illustrate certain phases of . . .

\centerline{THE ETHNOLOGY OF GAUL}
\bigskip
E{\sc VERYBODY} knows the three sentences with which Caesar's narrative of
the Gallic war begins: `Gaul, taken as a whole, is divided into three
parts, one of which is inhabited by the Belgae, another by the Aquitani,
and the third by a people who call themselves Celts and whom we call Gauls.
These peoples differ from one another in language, institutions, and laws.
The Gauls are separated from the Aquitani by the Garonne, from the Belgae

T{\sc HE} late Colonel Stoffel contributed much to our knowledge of the
history of the Gallic war by excavations, which he carried out on behalf of
Napoleon~III. In 1899 he described to me his method in a letter which I

\centerline{INTRODUCTION}
\bigskip
T{\sc HREE} centuries before the birth of Caesar, while patrician was still
struggling with plebeian, while both were still contending with rival
peoples for supremacy, the Gauls first encountered their destined
conquerors. For a generation or more, the Celtic wanderers, whose kinsmen
had already overflowed Gaul, crossed the Pyrenees, and passed into Britain
and into Ireland, had been pouring, in a resistless stream, down the passes
of the Alps. They spread ove . . .

we may infer from the fact that the ~elvetii, whom he followed
took a fortnight or more to advance with their unwieldy wagon-

neighbourhood of Toulon (15, \S 5); and Sanvigne is the only hill

1, \S 1. {\bf Gallia .~.~. divisa.} Notice the order of the words.
They must not be translated by `All Gaul is divided', which is
not only hideous, but wrong. The meaning is `Gaul, taken as
a whole, is divided'. The plural--{\it Galliae} and {\it Galliarum}--used
of the several divisions of Gaul, occurs in Cicero ({\it Fam.,} viii, 5,
\S 2; 9, \S 2; \&c.); and Caesar wished to make it cle . . .
