Not illustrated. 1846 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xiv. argument. Torquatus and Aquileius Their Father, Ahala, the Pontifex Maximus.--His Dignity His Marriage with Lyris.--His Grief at her Loss.--His Flight from Miletus to Osca Repentance soon tired.--Gratitude soon exhausted Explanations between the Priest and the Prator Spanish and Roman Children educated together at Osca.--Ahala's Alliance with Perpenna Gifts conferred upon him Money lent to him.--Repaid by the Disclosure of useful Secrets, which teach how we may dismiss our Friends and silence our Creditors. Among many eager aspirants to friendship with the Fawn, Torquatus and Aquileius, the children of Ahala, succeeded best. Indefatigable in their solicitude to please, they studied her partialities and antipathies, they intruded no nearer nor oftener than she allowed. Fruit ripe and unripe, water from the fountain and the brook, goat's milk and cow's milk, cakes without salt, without leaven, and without either odour or flavour, were their offerings every day. The happier were they in her preference, because no jealousy could be occasioned by it to their competitors. She had selected the augurale for her hiding-place, as that part of the pratorium which was the least disturbed--and they alone were privileged to enter it when they pleased. For Torquatus and Aquileius were the children of Ahala, and Ahala was the Pontifex Maximus. Cicero, while pleading before the pontifices, attributes to them power greater than human--dignity and authority which must have encroached almost inconveniently on the divine. He tells them that the safety of the commonwealth depended on their wisdom--the freedom of the people--the fortunes of the nobility--and even the welfare of the Gods. Ahala, a patrician from among the most ancient families of...

Book Description
Excerpt from Fawn of Sertorius, Vol. 2 of 2 Beside that Sertorius was eager for the em ployment of so fine an army, now largely recruited and better disciplined, he also wished to anticipate the effects of his colleague's seductions. In all great bodies of men, there must be some who are disappointed, some who are corrupt, some eager for novelty on its own account - many restless, dissatisfied, and adventurous - and not a few who, apprehending more danger from their creditors than their consciences, are good soldiers while in motion, unsteady and impatient subordinates when they have nothing difficult to do. Perpenna's legions had been reduced to better order by the example and proximity of more careful discipline. They were eager to partake m the glory of a battle, as well as the preparations for it. Ser torius resolved to fulfil their wishes as speedily as he could, and to make the approaching campaign decisive of the war.
