Excerpt from Caesar's Conquest of Gaul: An Historical Narrative (Being Part I. Of the Larger Work in the Same Subject)
I do not know whether educationists will consider this ideal desirable. But is it even attainable? Not certainly at present. It does not pay to teach Caesar to the more advanced scholars of public schools. If there is ever to be a reform, it must begin with the universities. And there is another class of students for whom the Commentaries would be peculiarly appropriate, - the candidates for the Royal Military Academy and for the Royal Military College.
