Collar & Daniell's Beginner's Latin Book: Problem

Postby lgsoltek » Mon Apr 14, 2008 11:42 am

I've noticed in the pdf copy of this book downloaded from this site there are some pages missing: Page 83 and Page 143. Will anyone see to it please? It's regrettable to see such a good book incomplete... Thank you! :)

Textkit’s fantastic but like any other Internet entity its human cells are completely replaced every few years, resulting in not a little (‘nonnullus’?) tombstone talk (with not so much as a “you are number X in line …â€￾)

For example, Mingshey drew attention Mar 10, 2008 to the fact that wrongly ordered pages in a downloadable file had never been righted (“To Jeff. D’Ooge pages in wrong orderâ€￾). Inquit: “Can it be taken care of sooner or later, please.â€￾ The rest was silence.

In fact, nobody answers to the name of Jeff any longer. Benissimus, Bellumpaxque, Episcopus et many others are “whirled beyond the circuit of the shuddering Bear … to a sleepy cornerâ€￾ (pace T.S. Eliot).

Currently, our DOWNLOAD wizard is Edonnelly. I can only quote Vergil to express my admiration of his services: “deus nobis haec otia fecitâ€￾. For example:

http://www.edonnelly.com/google.html

However, I’ve recently learnt a lot of Latin from a downloaded beauty that seems to have eluded even the redoubtable Edonnelly, namely, Daniell’s New Latin Composition):

http://books.google.com/books?id=oLMAAA ... ygTUsLn6DA

Complete with Key:

http://books.google.com/books?id=mbMAAA ... ygTUsLn6DA

As for those missing D’Ooge pages, try Google Books:

http://books.google.com/books?id=W80RAA ... 9Dg&pgis=1

Google is not totally reliable either, but at least pages 83 and 143 are where you’d expect to find them.

Well, I see Daniell’s New Latin Composition + Key is in Edonnelly's beautiful list now. Did I miss it yesterday? If so, sorry! I must think about my chosen motto ... :(

And I notice that there still is a Jeff. Lives in that New Textkit thing. Sorry for greatly exaggerating the report.

No, indeed I added it because of your post! Most of the growth of the list comes from links that people send me. It's a great link, too, because I think the most valuable books on Google are those that have an answer key (especially composition books, since without the key you have little more than a collection of English sentences). And thanks also for the appellation "download wizard," though all I really do is try to organize all the links that I and others have stumbled upon.
The lists:
G'Oogle and the Internet Pharrchive - 1100 or so free Latin and Greek books.
DownLOEBables - Free books from the Loeb Classical Library
