CRITICAL NOTICES.
“The book is charmingly written, and, on the whole, wisely written. There are many admirable, really noble, passages; there are hundreds of pages which few living men could match. * * * The political life of Cæsar is explained with singular lucidity, and with what seems to us remarkable fairness. The horrible condition of Roman society under the rule of the magnates is painted with startling power and brilliance of coloring.—Atlantic Monthly.
“Mr. Froude’s latest work, “Cæsar,” is affluent of his most distinctive traits. Nothing that he has written is more brilliant, more incisive, more interesting. * * * He combines into a compact and nervous narrative all that is known of the personal, social, political, and military life of Cæsar; and with his sketch of Cæsar, includes other brilliant sketches of the great men, his friends or rivals, who contemporaneously with him formed the principal figures in the Roman world.”—Harper’s Monthly.
“This book is a most fascinating biography, and is by far the best account of Julius Cæsar to be found in the English language.”—London Standard.
“It is the best biography of the greatest of the Romans we have, and it is in some respects Mr. Froude’s best piece of historical writing.”—Hartford Courant.
“Mr. Froude has given the public the best of all recent books on the life, character and career of Julius Cæsar.”—Phila. Eve. Bulletin.
