His previous attempt to cross the Apennines had been frustrated by the insupportable cold; to remain where he was would have been to court danger. The Gauls had rallied to him through the prospect of booty and spoil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
