Excerpt from A History of Germany: From Its Invasion by Marius to the Year 1850; For the Use of Young Persons

The Roman writers who describe Germany as it was two thousand years ago, speak with horror of its cold and inhospitable climate, its heaths and swamps; and above all of a Wild tract of woodland, called the Hercynian Forest, which extended, as they were told, more than sixty days' journey in length, and nine in breadth. The inhabitants of this desolate region were men of gigantic stature, with fair complexions, long yellow hair, and large well-opened blue eyes. The clothing of both sexes was simple being nothing more than a woollen tunic without sleeves, which covered only the body, leaving the arms, legs, and thighs entirely unprotected. In some parts of the country the men wore skins of wild beasts, arranged in such a manner that the fur of the animal's head formed a hood, out of which a pair of blue eyes might be seen glaring fiercely beneath the grinning tusks of a boar, or the horns of a wild bull.

Excerpt from A History of Germany: From Its Invasion by Marius to the Year 1850; For the Use of Young Persons

The limits of ancient Germany were probably not very different from those of the country which still bears that name. On the west it was bounded by Rhine; but a few tribes had from time to time crossed over to the left bank of the river, and founded colonies, which at a very early period fell into the hands of the Romans. On the south of the Alps separated it from Italy, and on the north it was bounded by the Baltic and Northern Seas.
