Initium: A First Latin Course on the Direct Method, to Which Is Appended a Book of Exercises and Some Grammar Questions

First published in 1926, as the second edition of a 1916 original, this book was created for ‘Latin beginners who have spent a fortnight on purely oral work without seeing any text-book’. It is divided into four parts: narrative, grammar, sentences and grammar papers. Illustrative figures are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Latin and the history of education.
