Latin: 2nd Year

This book is a sequel to First Year Latin and is intended to be accompanied by the Latin Grammar book. It would be impossible for a beginner to learn Latin from this book -- it assumes the reader has already covered Henle's First Year Latin (which can take up to two years to complete). The first half of the book is divided into three parts: Julius Caesar and Roman Imperialism in Gaul; Roman Imperialism in Gaul; and Jesus Christus Rex Regum. The sections on Caesar and Rome relate historical events, in Latin, with some explanatory paragraphs in English. The section on Jesus Christ is a short series of essays, also in Latin, discussing his life and effect on man. Throughout these readings there are lists of Words to Remember. The second half of the book is devoted to exercises based on the readings. At the back of the book is a classified word list and an English-Latin vocabulary.
