This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845 edition. Excerpt: ...in point of fertility to the German, and that the Gallic mode of life was more refined and civilized than that pursued by their German neighbours. The unusual mode of expression by which this idea is conveyed (it being more customary to place the inferior object in the first clause), has led Ciacconius to emend the sentence as follows: " Neque enim confe-rendum esse cum Gallico Germanorum agrum." But we may easily conceive, that one thing may be so far superior to another as not to admit of a comparison with it, and hence the ordinary lection is correct enough. 4. Neque hanc, &c. Some editors, not attending to the peculiar force of hie and ille, make hanc refer to the Germans, and ilia to the Gauls.

Ad Magetobriam. " In the vicinity of Magetobria." The place here alluded to is not known, and hence much uncertainty prevails about the true reading. Almost all the MSS. have Admar getobria as one word, which Oudendorp adopts. The early editions give Amagetobria, with which the Greek paraphrast agrees, tr rjj 'AayiroSpfa. Oberlinus, however, whom we have been induced to follow, prefers ad Magetobriam, and thinks that traces of the ancient name may easily be recognised in the modern Moigte de Pago. 19 Broie, at the confluence of the Arar and Ogno, near the village ol Pontaitter. This opinion derives strong support from the circumstance of a fragment of an ancient urn having been obtained from the bed of the Arar, near the place just mentioned, in the yeai 1802, on which the word MAGETOB could be distinctly traced. Compare Oberlinus, ad loc. 7 Et in eos omnia...
