Gallic War," edited by J. Rcmsen
Bishop, principal of the Eastern High
School, Detroit, Michigan, and T. T.
Jones, head of the Department of
Latin, University of Kentucky.
In addition to the usual four books
of Caesar there are selections relating
to the customs of the Gauls and Germans, also extracts from the Lives

schools, particularly in Kentucky.
Professor Jones' friends are much
gratified by the scholarly work he has
presented and feel that he has reflected much honor on the University.
