Excerpt from La Germanie

Tacite aimant sa patrie comme les premiers Romains l'avaient aimée, y voulait rappeler les vertus qui fon dèrent sa puissance, et la ramener à la sévérité de ses premieres coutumes. En mème temps que cet ouvrage sur les Germains est la satire de la dissolution des moeurs romaines, il est un éloge des moeurs austères et pures qui établirent la grandeur de la république, tan dis que leur dépravation amena successivement sa déca dence, dont Tacite indique déjà la plupart des causes.
