The book is written by Edward Conner Chickering, a professor of Latin at Amherst College, and is intended for beginners who have little or no previous knowledge of the language.The book is divided into 30 lessons, each of which introduces new vocabulary and grammar concepts. The lessons are designed to be self-contained, with clear explanations and examples of the new material. The book also includes exercises and drills to help students practice what they have learned, as well as readings in Latin to help develop reading comprehension skills.One of the unique features of this book is its use of the direct method, which means that Latin is spoken and written from the very beginning of the course. This approach is intended to help students develop a natural understanding of the language, rather than relying on translation and memorization.Overall, Beginners' Latin By The Direct Method (1914) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning Latin, whether for academic or personal reasons. Its clear explanations, exercises, and readings make it a comprehensive and accessible guide to the language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
