Item description from seller

Ginn and Company, Boston, 1968. XI,433p. Original pictorial cloth. 'Living Latin: A Contemporary Approach, Book Two' continues the structural approach and basic techniques used in Book One. To meet the wide range of differences in students' backgrounds and their consequent variety of needs, it is divided into three major parts: Part One: Unit One: Four lessons of general preliminary review of structures and inflections, follwed by reading comprehension passages from Pliny's 'Epistulae'. Unit Two: Eight chapters based on adaptations of Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita', substantially repeated from the chapters in Book One, which present basic uses of the subjunctive, the gerund, the gerundive, the periphrastic, and impersonal verbs. It is included for those who did not complete this work in their previous course. Unit Three: Twelve chapters relating the fast-moving adventures in 'the Argonauts' and introducing new grammatical structures and vocabulary constantly occurring in the Caesar selection which follow. Part Two: Unit Four: Passages from Book I and Book III of Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War. Unit Five: Caesar's expeditions to Britain and Germany as they are recounted in Books IV, V, and VI. Part Three: Unit Six: Eight chapters of excerpts from 'De Vita Caesarum' by Suetonius, whose biography of Caesar offers an interesting contrast to Caesar's own writings of himself. Five chapters of excerpts from the 'Epistulae Morales of Seneca. Unit Seven: Five chapters of excerpts from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The basic vocabulary required for the second-year level is listed in the chapter or unit where it occurs. As in Book One, the primary goal of the authors is to develop the students ability to read Latin. Everything in Book Two is conducive to the attainment of this goal.' (From the Preface for Teachers, pp. iii-iv).…
