Synopsis

A First Latin Reader opens the world of Latin and American history through engaging, graded passages. This traditional Latin reader combines careful language study with authentic selections that move from beginner exercises to fuller Latin texts.

In this edition, you’ll start with accessible lessons about early American history, then proceed through narrative and historical excerpts, including simplified Caesar and other classical authors. The book balances vocabulary building, footnotes, and cross‑references to help students translate and understand, while offering opportunities to read “real Latin” in later sections. Clear notes and helpful maps support learning and progression.

- Structured lessons from beginner to more advanced Latin, with accompanying English explanations
- A built‑in vocabulary series and footnotes that define new words in context
- Cross‑referencing notes to locate familiar material and encourage independent study
- Selected passages from Caesar, Nepos, Suetonius, Sallust, and Cicero for authentic reading
- Practical practice in Latin-English exercises and guided translation

Ideal for students beginning Latin and for teachers seeking a classroom‑friendly, cumulative reading program that builds confidence with historical and literary texts.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A First Latin Reader

With the Primer previously published, this Reader pro vides for a course of study leading up to Caesar or some other author Of like difficulty. Students who are to give five years or more to preparatory Latin would normally devote a year each to the Primer and the Reader; but the maturer pupils in the four-year course will cover easily in their first year the work outlined in both books.

It is hoped too, that, aside from use in this regular sequence, the Reader will be found to meet the needs of many teachers who are looking for a carefully graded text for supplementary reading or for translation at sight.

The plan for beginning Latin embodied in Primer and Reader differs from others most fundamentally, per haps, in that it concentrates so definitely upon the problem of developing the student's power to read Latin; and it is quite in harmony with that general design that this second book is called a Reader, and that in it the latin-english exercises are massed at one point, with notes at the foot of the page.
