First published in 1924, this volume in the Cambridge Elementary Classics series was created to provide graded reading matter for second-year Latin students. The text is based on selections from Livy's History of Rome, with a few pieces from Ovid's Fasti included for more advanced readers. Original extracts are necessarily simplified and some sentences are interpolated in order to illustrate the desired constructions. Additionally, there are translation exercises for each chapter and a sizeable Latin–English vocabulary is included at the end of the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Latin and the history of education.
