Germania and Agricola by Cornelius Tacitus (Paperback / softback, 2013)

It is the office of genius and learning, as of light, to illustrate other things, and t itself. The writers, who, of all others perhaps, have told us most of the world, just as it has been and is, have told us least of themselves. Their character we may infer, with more or less exactness, from their works, but their history is unwritten and must for ever remain so. Homer, though, perhaps, the only one who has been argued out of existence, is by means the only one whose age and birthplace have been disputed. The native place of Tacitus is mere matter of conjecture. His parentage is t certainly kwn. The time of his birth and the year of his death are ascertained only by approximation, and very few incidents are recorded in the history of his life; still we kw the period in which he lived, the influences under which his character was developed and matured, and the circumstances under which he wrote his immortal works. In short, we kw his times, though we can scarcely gather up eugh to deminate his life; and the times in which an author lived, are often an important, t to say, essential means of elucidating his writings.
