Stranica 444 - THE HISTORY OF OUR LORD, as exemplified in Works of Art, with that of His Types, St. John the Baptist, and other persons of the Old and New Testament.
Stranica 444 - Lays of Ancient Rome. With 90 Illustrations on Wood, Original and from the Antique, from Drawings by G.
Stranica 356 - These four ceremonials were celebrated with a few days' interval between each, that the interest of the spectators might not pall with satiety. The procession formed in the Campus Martius outside the city. It defiled through the Triumphal Gate at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, and crossed the deep hollow of the Velabrum and Forum Boarium, on its way to the Circus Maximus, which occupied the valley between the Palatine and Aventine. In passing through the...
Stranica 440 - Cssca, who was behind, drew a weapon, and grazed his shoulder with an illdirected stroke. Caesar disengaged one hand, and snatched at the hilt, shouting ' Cursed Casca, what means this ? '
Stranica 441 - he exclaimed, let go his hold of Casca, and drawing his robe over his face, made no further resistance. The assassins stabbed him through and through, for they had pledged themselves, one and all, to bathe their daggers in his blood.

Stranica 438 - With Porcia indeed the secret of the tyrannicides was secure ; but not so with many of the wild unprincipled men to whom it had been confided ; every moment of delay made the danger of its divulgement more imminent. Under pretence of escorting the son of Cassius, who had just assumed the gown of manhood, the conspirators assembled early, and proceeded in a body to the portico before...
Stranica 347 - Rome had yet produced — the first of a long line of heroes of the robe, whose dignified submission to an adverse fate will illustrate the pages of our history throughout the gloom of the imperial tyranny. The ancient heathens but faintly questioned the sufferer's right to escape from calamity by a voluntary death. It was reserved for the Christian moralists, in their vindication of nobler principles, to impugn the act which has rendered Cato's fame immortal. The creed of the stoic taught; indeed,...
Stranica 350 - Caesar advanced triumphantly from the scene of his last exploit, receiving the submission of the towns on his way, carrying off the stores and treasure collected for his enemies' use, and leaving garrisons to retain them in fidelity. As he drew near to Utica he was met by L. Caesar, whose petition for mercy seems to have been confined to his own person, and to whom, as well as to a long list of distinguished nobles, the conqueror extended the promise of his protection. He lamented with every appearance...
Stranica 366 - Caesar was in so much danger, that he called out to ask his soldiers, "whether they meant to deliver him into the hands of boys ?" and when by thus shaming them he had won the day, he said that he had often fought for victory, but never before for his life. Cnaeus Pompeius was killed by the pursuers, but his brother Sextus escaped, and lived the life of an outlaw among the robber tribes upon the hills. And now Caesar had reached the summit of his glory, and had put down all opposition. He was all,...
