About this title

Review:

Now in its eighth edition and enhanced with additions by Donald H. Hoffman, Latin Readings For Review is an ideal elementary Latin translation book which students of the language can use to practice and improve their understanding. Ninety-six brief Latin passages, one per page, form the bulk of this guide; additional sections are devoted to reviewing grammatical tenses and pronunciation. A glossary rounds out this superb study text for serious students of Latin; however, Latin Readings For Review is primarily meant for intermediate students to practice one's skill in Latin, and not a complete textbook in and of itself for novices. Most readings relate to Roman history or Greek mythology in this fine aid to the study of a classic language. Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers are the premier publishers of Latin and Greek language materials. --Wisconsin Bookwatch - James Cox

Judicious editing, abridging, adapting, interlinear vocabulary and other aids afford the students an opportunity to pursue the reading of Latin on their own. The readers therefore act admirably as supplemental materials. --Loyola University Chicago Emerita - JoAnne Sweeney
