Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Straight Road to Caesar: For Beginners in Latin
The aim of this book is indicated by the title. Caesar is properly the first Latin author read by American students, for no Writer illustrates more clearly the spirit and principles of the language. A mastery of Caesar is the best possible foundation for Latin scholarship.
But Caesar is too difficult to be read freely and enthusiastically with out definite preparation. The road to Caesar should be as direct and easy as a Roman road; it must, however, be long enough to carry the traveller not merely within sight of the city, but to the golden milestone in its very centre.
