Stumbled across this:

This book outOrbergs Orberg. And first published 1884. Take a look! Just imagine if someone had written a beginnerâ€:trade_mark:s Latin book that packed a similar punch.
Or did they, and it’s still waiting to be re-discovered? 
Mention is made of the Pestalozzian Method? What’s that? Google says:
http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-pest.htm
and:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Heinrich_Pestalozzi
So I must add to my list of pedagogical icons (Erasmus, Comenius, Adler, Rouse, Orberg, etc) a certain Pestalozzi. A Swiss marksman who aimed at the Apple of Knowledge?

I forgot to mention that the only Latin in the book is its motto: ?Nihil est in intellectu quod non fuerit in sensu?. That says it all.

He was one of the first to propose a ‘modern method’ of language learning, but he was also influenced by Comenius, he of the Orbis Sensualim Pictus

His method was further developed and refined by Jean Manesca. Manesca’s introduction makes for interesting reading.

In turn, Henri Ollendorff took up Manesca’s method, adapted it, and produced a very successful and famous suite of language learning books in the mid 1800s’ of which G.J Adler’s “A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language” is a Latin version.
