    English philosopher and Anglican cleric Samuel Clarke first published his annotated edition of Caesar's Commentaries in 1712, with numerous further editions quickly produced.

    Julius Caesar's accounts of his campaign in Gaul and Britain between 58 and 50 BC, and his description of his participation in the 49-48 BC Roman Civil War are accompanied by Clarke's observations.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece, one folding plate, and three folding maps. Collated, complete.
