Text of Note

This volume briefly introduces readers to Latin, the ancient Italic language originally spoken by the Italic Latins in Latium and Ancient Rome. The author provides a lively, basic review of Latin grammar as he explains tenses, cases, gender, person and verbs with a layman's level of accessibility. He intersperses these lessons with witty passages on Roman history and follows up with grammar-based exercises.
