Magnificent edition of Cæsar's Commentaries, translated and with preliminary matter by William Duncan, with a superb array of copper-engraved plates and maps, most double-page. These include the scarce fold-out "Bull" plate ("The Ursus or Buffalo") and "The Battle with Elephants." The Bull plate laid on backing paper, repairing a few tears, a short unrepaired split; the Elephant plate with two 2" tears from lower edge. The other plates include numerous finely engraved battle plates, depictions of the various peoples conqured by Cæsar (Picts, Druids, Gauls, Germans, etc.), maps of the regions occupied, etc. This is thought by many as the finest edition of Caesar's commentaries in English.
