A First Latin Reader opens the world of Latin and American history through engaging, graded passages.

This traditional Latin reader combines careful language study with authentic selections that move from beginner exercises to fuller Latin texts.

In this edition, you’ll start with accessible lessons about early American history, then proceed through narrative and historical excerpts, including simplified Caesar and other classical authors. The book balances vocabulary building, footnotes, and cross‑references to help students translate and understand, while offering opportunities to read “real Latin” in later sections. Clear notes and helpful maps support learning and progression.

Structured lessons from beginner to more advanced Latin, with accompanying English explanations
A built‑in vocabulary series and footnotes that define new words in context
Cross‑referencing notes to locate familiar material and encourage independent study
Selected passages from Caesar, Nepos, Suetonius, Sallust, and Cicero for authentic reading
Practical practice in Latin-English exercises and guided translation

Ideal for students beginning Latin and for teachers seeking a classroom‑friendly, cumulative reading program that builds confidence with historical and literary texts.
