Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of P. Cornelius Tacitus, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated Into English, With an Introduction and Notes, Critical and Explanatory IN this translation I have endeavoured to reproduce some what of the pregnant brevity of the original, and if my readers think that excessive terseness sometimes tends to obscurity of expression, I trust that they may accord their indulgence to the conscientious endeavour of one who seeks, however imperfectly, to limn the lineaments of a great antique or catch the echo of a classic voice.
