Latin for Americans Second Book by B. L. Ullman (hardcover) 1956

Description: Chief among the numerous changes in this edition are the new reading selections added to give the individual pupil a wider choice: Some of the material from Part III of the old edition has been considerably augmented with material from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors to make Unit X, "Two Thousand Years of Latin." Selections from Ovid have been added, so that the superior student may have a chance to read both Virgil and Ovid. The material from Pliny in Part III of the old edition has been increased (Unit IX, "Pliny"). A new Latin play, Caesar Dictator, has been written for this edition by Dr. Lillian B. Lawler of Hunter College, who has written plays for previous editions of this book. A number of short humorous modern stories under the re-curing title "Latinum Hodiernum" have been added, including adaptations of several of Dr. Norman W. DeWitt's animal stories. "Lazy Latin," a new feature introduced in the 1956 edition of Book I, is continued in this book. The Word Studies have been supplemented by the listing, where appropriate to the text, of U. S. towns with ancient names, a feature introduced in the 1956 edition of Book I. The total number of illustrations has been increased by more than fifty. Many new color illustrations have been prepared for this edition, and the small etymology cartoons, long-time favorites of pupils and teachers, have been redrawn and new ones added. The illustrations play an important part in presenting phases of Roman culture and its influence on the modern world. Among other significant changes are the condensation of the story of the Argonauts (Unit IV) and a slight reduction in the selections from Caesar. In neither case have any essential parts been omitted. In addition, the grammatical discussions have been simplified and several technical terms have been eliminated. Some of the sentences in the Latin English and English-Latin Exercises have been simplified. All the Practice Exercises have been revised.
