This American reader is intended as a supplement to theone-volume Latin course by F.M.

By usingthis reader, the student will learn how classical Latin wasreally written, and become painlessly acquainted with thegreat Latin authors.The little book itself is pleasing in appearance, easy to handle,and possessed of that sober elegance characteristic of Bolchazy-Carduccipublications. But the greatvalue of the book is its avoidance of “made” Latin - that baneof most teaching methods - since every one of the storiesis based on real Latin literature, simplified, of course, in thebeginning, but less and less so as the work advances. As each one is precededby a listing of the grammar taught in the accompanyinglesson, they are easily adapted to any textbook.

The stories are well chosen for the material theyillustrate, interesting in themselves, and carefully graded forvocabulary and grammatical construction. Almost any introductorycourse of Latin, at High School or College level would bene.tfrom its use. This little book of stories in Latin is designed to accompany*Wheelock’s Latin.* However, it would be a pity to limit theuse of such an excellent reader to Wheelock’s method alone it deserves much wider application.
