PREFACE
This volume is a sequel to « Beginning Reading >>and is intended for
use in the second year of the of Latin . The readings , the pres
entation of grammar, and the exercises are combined into functional
units that should help the serious student progress in his ability to
read Latin with direct comprehension .
Despite the varying backgrounds and abilities of students and the
forgetfulness consequent upon a summer's vacation, « Progress in
Reading » can be used effectively by alltypes ofstudents who used
«Beginning Reading » infreshman year. Starting with the first and
second declensions, this text covers substantially the same material
that isfound inthe first volume. The presentation ofmorphology though
ismore compact and the grammar issomewhat more amply treated
than in«Beginning Reading ». Even students who have used atext oth
erthan the first ofthis series can use this text insecond year, since
itbegins with the very elements ofthe Latin language.
Teachers who use«Progress nReading»should know how much
i
ofthe first volume was completed bytheir students. Ifthis isknown,
it iseasy todetermine how much ofthe present volume will involve
review and atwhat point students will begin the study ofnew material.
For example, classes that have completed only sixteen lessons inthe
first volume will finish their review with the completion ofthe first
part oflesson ten ofthis book. For such agroup, however, the first
nine lessons will not bemere review, since the readings are new and
new points ofgrammar are introduced from time totime.
All readings inthis text are graded in structure and vocabulary;
that is, noconstruction orvocabulary word appears inareading un
less ithas been seen before, orunless itisexplained inthe lesson in
which the reading appears
.
Unlike the first-year text, «Beginning Reading », the readings in
this volume are continuous and tell the story ofthe events leading up to
the Trojan War aswell asmost ofthe incidents ofthis war asrelated
inHomer's «Iliad ».. Incomposing the readings that tell the story of
