A new version of "Latin for Beginners" has been published. Like many people here on Textkit, this book started me down the road to learning Latin. I quickly realized that I wanted a hard copy to go with the electronic versions that populate the web. I finally found a copy of the 1911 edition but always thought it a shame that it wasn't readily available.
I have spent the past couple of months revising and assembling a new edition. The Centurion Edition celebrates the 100th anniversary of the original date of publication of the Latin classic. This is not a scanned version. The text has been retypeset and formatted to a slightly larger size. All the original illustrations and plates have been included (in black and white).
While great effort has been made to remain faithful to the original published work, some formatting changes were intentional, if not necessary. Special vocabularies have been moved from the appendix and placed with their respective lessons. Exercises have been reformatted from paragraphs into numbered lists. A new index has been generated.
As a bonus for the Latin scholar, included after the reading material, is the ballad of Horatius from The Lays of Rome by Thomas Babbington Macaulay. In lessons L-LII there is a latin version of how Horatius held the bridge.
