History of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt

"Cleopatra possessed a fascinating combination of personal charm, high intellectual attainments, and an unbridled ambition for supreme power."

"In her interview with Caesar, she relied not merely on her rank as queen, but upon the irresistible fascination of her manners and her personal charms."

"The course of the Egyptian queen was always guided by policy rather than affection; her alliances were formed solely to aggrandize her kingdom and secure her own dominion."

"Antony, captivated by the splendor of her court and the magic of her presence, surrendered himself entirely to her influence, forgetting his duties and his honor at Rome."

"When she found that all her arts were powerless against the stern and inflexible policy of Octavius, she resolved to escape the degradation of a Roman triumph by a voluntary death."

"Thus terminated the career of one of the most remarkable sovereigns of antiquity—a woman whose beauty, talents, and misfortunes have rendered her name immortal."
