Note 5 — Chapter II
Francis T. (Francis Tucker) Washburn translation
Of the Germans Tacitus writes, Germ., c. 9, "Eos nec cohibere parietibus Deos neque in ullam humanioris speciem assimilare, ex magnitudine cœlestium arbitrantur. Lucos ac nemora consecrant deorumque nominibus appellant secretum illud, quod sola reverentia vident."
