Excerpt from The Commentaries of C. Julius Caesar: The Gallic War, With the Supplement of Hirtius
And point by means of short sentences, as in the closing scenes of the siege Of Alesia in Book VII. In fact, it uses in a somewhat less developed form than after-writers all the resources of Roman style; and this with the additional excellence that the expression never seems to be sought for on its own account, but always to be the natural outgrowth of the facts narrated. Indeed, a scholar whose taste is formed upon Caesar's writings does not find anything afterwards in Roman historical writers which pleases him so well. Assuming the view that the Latin language is suited by its inward character to be more than any other the organ of expression for the true and actual, and that it never works with such natural ease as when it is stating facts in the genuine order of their occurrence, one cannot help feeling that Caesar has more nearly than any other writer been able to realise this ideal. Whether he turns out on closer examination to have been perfectly scrupulous or not, it can hardly be denied that in proportion as a historical writer is scrupulously candid and truthful, so will his style approximate to that employed by Caesar.
