The British nation a history / by George MWrong . of Dover-. After ashort and indecisive campaignhe retired, but returned in thenext year with a force num-bering more than 25, 000. TheBritons, warring among them-selves and awed by the disci-pline of the Eoman legions, yielded a nominal submission.The Roman Senate decreed twenty days thanksgiving forCsesars new and glorious conquest, and Britain became, and long remained, a province of the Roman Empire.For ninety years no attempt wasmade to hold it in real subjec-tion, since the country offeredlittle to the ambition of a Romanproconsul, but at length cease-less quarrels among the Britonsbrought back the Romans, whoin A.
