I was just wondering if people would agree with his points or not. Personally, I think Wheelock's was great, though I haven't done any Latin in a long time to justify how far it has taken me.
It seems there is no good book to learn from these days. Why, oh why!, couldn't we have born in the 1600 as rich, Europeans?

I started with Wheelock more than thirty years ago. After a couple years instruction with a private teacher I started reading Latin literature on my own. I'm still reading it on my own and loving it more than ever.It seems there is no good book to learn from these days.
I was. I got beheaded on a conspiracy charge.Why, oh why!, couldn't we have born in the 1600 as rich Europeans?
