Excerpt: "It may perhaps be fairly said that the Commentaries of Cæsar are the beginning of modern history. He wrote, indeed, nearly two thousand years ago; but he wrote, not of times then long past, but of things which were done under his own eyes, and of his own deeds. And he wrote of countries with which we are familiar,-of our Britain, for instance, which he twice invaded, of peoples not so far remote but that we can identify them with our neighbours...

Written during Victorian times by a British, so Trollop makes comparisons to the British system of the time. Cicero was a great orator and philosopher, added to Latin new words. This book is about his life, not the letters that he is famous. Influenced by Greeks, educated in Greece, showed his intellect at a young age by translating Greek philosophy. As a barrister was very clever and interesting approaches to winning.

A 1951 review in the New York Herald Tribune pronounced this 1862 travel memoir "superb . . . Its effect today is that of an extraordinary newsreel of civilian life in 1861-62, vivid in its photography, literate in its running commentary, as fair as an honest, open-minded man could make it." Trollope recounts his adventures in Boston, Cambridge, Lowell, Washington, and more-along the way he learns about Congress, women's rights, abolition, education,...

The war had not been in his plans, but as it happened at the time, Trollop covered the war in this book. Not as a battle reporter but as an observer of effects on the places that he visited. In the process he comes out as a first class reporting talent. The introduction has interesting thoughts about the question of the British neutrality in...
