Samuel Clarke's Caesar is generally regarded as one of the finest examples of 18th-century English publishing: "The most sumptuous classical work which this country has produced" Dibdin. Edward Harwood views on the book were also highly praiseworthy: "Although his Caesar achieved elegance mainly through profuse ornament the typography nonetheless has qualities of stateliness and dignity which set the book far above the usual product of the time and place.” During his lifetime Caesar was regarded as one of the best orators and prose authors in Latin — even Cicero spoke highly of Caesar's rhetoric and style. Only Caesar's war commentaries have survived. A few sentences from other works are quoted by other authors. Size: Large Folio 475x300mm.
