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

Description: The first question that most Latin teachers, long familiar with earlier editions of this book, are likely to ask is "Just what changes have been made in this revision?" The changes in format and size are obvious. As to content, the changes are numerous and sometimes extensive. The following are the most important: The number of lessons has been reduced from 78 to 77. A few basic words have been eliminated, a few others have been added, and the order of occurrence has frequently been changed. Some reading selections are entirely new (e.g., Lessons V, XIII); others are entirely rewritten (e.g., Lessons III, IV, VII, XIV). The major changes in grammar presentation have been three: a. the first and second declensions are taught together, beginning with Lesson IV; b. the perfect tense has been moved forward from Lesson XXXI to Lesson XIII-and the imperfect has been postponed from Lesson V to Lesson XXVIII; c. the third declension has been moved forward from Lesson XLVIII to Lesson XLIII. The grammatical changes indicated in the preceding paragraph caused extensive changes in reading selections, exercises, etc. Some of the grammatical matter has been played down and simplified. A number of technical grammatical terms have been eliminated. The English explanations of grammar have been simplified where possible. The sentences in the Latin-English and English-Latin exercises have frequently been shortened. The number has been reduced somewhat. Many entirely new sentences have been substituted for the old. Brief tabular summaries comparing and contrasting English and Latin grammatical usages have been added to most of the Unit Reviews. The "Hints for Reading Latin' in Lesson XXVIII have been expanded
