page 56 note 5 The opening of the Agricola is a famous instance of his hatred.

page 56 note 6 For this portrait of Augustus, see the Annals I. 1–4 and 9–10, and cp. Haverfield's remarks in J.R.S. 11. p. 198; for the introduction of maiestas trials, see Annals I. 72; for Domitian's study of Tiberius' memoirs, see Suetonius, Domit. 20. Tacitus is practically alone in the portrait he draws of Livia.

page 57 note 1 I find that Willrich, in the article referred to above, also notes the similarity of phrase: he deals fully with Tacitus' portrait of Augustus.
