Anyone ever come across this book? I picked it up from a used bookstore a while back. It was first published in 1929, and I think I have the 1950 edition. Compared to most Latin texts I’ve seen, it presents the grammar in a much more orderly fashion. It lumps together pertinent information, like going over several tenses and their endings in one lesson, versus separating them in random lessons. My brain likes the bigger picture overview - I can understand it better than if I was fed just small chunks of unrelated info at the same time.
The other interesting thing is that is uses some modern sentences, referring to the United States for example, in translation exercises. It does have some classical stuff as well, but it’s not 100% classical like Wheelock. That’s its main weakness - but I suppose it may be representative of that time in American life. The other downside is I have no answer key, so I have no idea if my translations are correct.
