Excerpt from Commentaries on the Gallic War: With English Notes, Critical and Explanatory, a Lexicon, Indexes, Etc War, with select notes, London, 1831 Commentaries on the Gallic War, edited by Dr. L. Schmitz, with Notes, Edinburgh, 1847; Clarke's Caesar from the Delphin edition; Andrews', Leverett's, and Paterson's editions of the Commentaries on the Gallic War, &c. From these sources principally, added to the frequent perusals of the author with the classes under his charge, it has been the Editor's aim to prepare such notes as would be of service to the young student in entering upon the consecutive perusal of a Latin author. In how far the Editor may have succeeded in carrying out his design, it becomes him not to say; he can only trust that his efforts to illustrate and render attractive a favorite classic may meet with similar indulgence to that which has been bestowed upon his former contributions to the great cause of classical learning.
