Author Description

Excerpt from Caesar and the Britons This small work, is not designed, to include every thing, that might be said on a subject; which, however antiquated, is still interesting; as it treats of the glory, or disgrace, of the ances tors of the most civilized nations of the present age. Its full completion, as it depends on the uncertain favor of the public, may never be ef fected. It would include a variety of collateral evidence; and, if the name of Caesar, be taken as symbolical of the Roman power; it would demand a minute scrutiny, of all the transactions of the Romans with Britain. This process would shew the preponderance of her councils, and arms, in all ages; and the utter impracticability of the success of a foreign power, against a nation, which, if true to itself, could always have defied the united efforts of the world.
