Elementary Latin
by B. L. Ullman
On This Page
Description
In the 1920's when Latin was still taught in American high schools, this popular text was widely used. Clearly and concisely written, it makes frequent references to the similarities of Latin and colloquial English. (Foreign Language)Tags

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 been joint author on this book, and no other.)
