The next great battle which marked an era in the human race was that of Arminius over the Roman legions, under Varus. Rome was now indeed the wonder of the world, and her empire was almost universal among the more civilized races of mankind. The great Pompey had fought his last battle on the plains of Pharsalia, and as a fugitive had been slain on the Egyptian shore. The age of the mighty Julius Caesar, who had fought and conquered and reigned and fallen at the base of Pompey's statue, had pass...ed. Anthony had died in the arms of Cleopatra, and Augustus reigned in im- perial splendor over land and sea; his armies incumbered the earth and his fleets emblazoned the seas. For more exten- sive and complete dominion he sent one of his numerous armies, under Varus, to overcome Germany, and extend his language and laws over the barbarous nations, as they were termed, in middle and northern Europe. But the great gen- eral, Arminius, a Cheruscan of the high Germanic race, met his legions between the Lippe and the Ems, put them to route, and thus saved our Germanic-Saxon ancestors from enslavement in their original seats along the Eyder and the Elbe; and, as is believed by a distinguished historian, but for the decisive battle of Arminius, the Island of England would never have borne that name, and the English nation, whose race and language are now overrunning the earth, would probably have been cut off from existence.
