Elementary Latin, with correlated studies in English for junior and senior high schools, may be one of my favorite Latin Textbooks. It's very readable, and accessible, but this particular book has notes (only on the last, blank, pages) from the original owner, who kindly did not mark up the book itself.

While I'd advise the serious student to stick with Wheelock, or Rosetta Stone, this is an excellent resource if encountered in an antique store somewhere.

(Poor Mr. Henry seems only to have show more been joint author on this book, and no other.) show less
This book is an excellent introduction to Latin for young students. It proceeds slowly, building on previous lessons for a cumulative and comprehensive course in the Latin language. It uses many classical readings for its sources.
This book is an excellent introduction to Latin for young students. It proceeds slowly, building on previous lessons for a cumulative and comprehensive course in the Latin language. It uses many classical readings for its sources. This book, even more than the first volume, uses primary source readings - most notably, Caesar and some Ovid.
