The post Agricola and Germany appeared first on Classical Education Books.

]]> Cornelius Tacitus, Rome’s greatest historian and the last great writer of classical Latin prose, produced his first two books in AD 98, after the assination of the Emperor Domitian ended fifteen years of enforced silence. Much of Agricola, which is the biography of Tacitus’ late father-in-law Julius Agricola, is devoted to Britain and its people, since Agricola’s claim to fame was that as governor for seven years he had completed the conquest of Britain, begun four decades earlier. Germany provides an account of Rome’s most dangerous enemies, the Germans, and is the only surviving example of an ethnographic study from the ancient world. Each book in its way has had immense influence on our perception of Rome and the northern barbarians. This edition reflects recent research in Roman-British and Roman-German history and includes newly discovered evidence on Tacitus’ early
career.

Ballantyne (1825–94) joined the Hudson's Bay Company. Posted immediately to North-Eastern Canada, he spent five years traversing the region's inhospitable terrain by sleigh and canoe. His journal and letters home were so evocative that, upon his return, he was persuaded to publish an account [...]

]]> Combining anthropological observations with descriptions of landscapes, plants, and animals, the account was applauded by the Dundee Courier for ‘opening up a mine of information to the curious’ and ‘describing the everyday life of a novel and singular existence’ with ‘buoyancy and animation’.

Appearing within a year of the first edition in 1848, the second edition reproduced here is illustrated throughout with views and vignettes. ‘Free from tedious details and unnecessary wordiness’, Ballantyne’s fast-moving and readable narrative challenges many misconceptions about nineteenth-century Canada and its indigenous peoples.
