This work has been prepared in response to a growing demand for a new
first reading book in Latin, offering more simple and interesting
material for the second-year work than is now provided by Caesar's
Commentaries, the first connected reading pupils meet in the Latin
course.
It is the aim of the present volume to offer for the student's first
reading in Latin, material in which the least difficult Latin comes
first; which contains the largest possible general vocabulary, instead
of a small special vocabulary; which is drawn from a wide, instead of a
narrow, range of literature; and which may be associated with other
departments of teaching with greater success and productiveness than
Caesar's Commentaries.
The selections in First Latin Readings have, therefore, been chosen with
reference to their difficulty, their interest as literature, and, as far
as possible, their relation to Roman life and custom, and not with
reference to their exclusive use as drilling material on formal
classical construction.
Exercises in Latin prose composition, based on the text of each author
represented, have been prepared, and are included in the book.
_Copies of First Latin Readings will be sent, prepaid, to any address on
receipt of the price by the Publishers:_
