Cornelia (Latin Edition)

After the first lessons, each word is introduced in a setting that makes possible its interpretation by reading alone. Every word is repeated in three successive chapters and frequently in later chapters.The Latin becomes successively more difficult as the chapters progress (No subjunctive) This reader is intended for first year Latin students.The author says "One learns to read by reading. Material for reading in the early stages should be easy and repetitious, and should introduce new vocabulary in self-evident situations."This reprint by Facimile Publisherdistributed by Gyhan, is a quality hardcover book, with sewn binding, large dark print, it even has a dust cover!Cornelia is the "reader" intended to go with Maxey's "A New Latin Primer" (Facsmile please print this too :-)or "First Latin lessons" by Harry Fletcher Scott (this is harder 1,500 vocab) stops before subjunctive.
