The third year of instruction explores Roman oratory and emphasizes Cicero's cogency of arguments and develops appreciation of his style.

Building on the third year readings of Cicero, Henle Fourth Year Latin uses Cicero and Virgil as stepping stones to an interpretation of Christian humanism. Separated into four parts, this final volume of the Henle Latin Series includes an analysis of The Aeneid, ​unique exercises based on the writings of Cicero, and more. Humanistic insight and linguistic training are the objectives of the Henle Latin Series from Loyola Press, an integrated four-year Latin course. Time-tested and teacher endorsed, this comprehensive program is designed to lead the student systematically through the fundamentals of the language itself and on to an appreciation of selected classic texts.

"Every text [of the First Form Latin series] is organized into five units that enable the student to comprehend the whole in its logical parts, at a pace that fosters mastery rather than frustration. Each beautiful, concise, text of approximately 30 2-page lessons, visually and logically unfolds the Latin grammar before the eyes of the student, one doable lesson at a time. A comprehensive full-size workbook provides 4-6 pages of exercises for each lesson, guiding the student through every skill needed for mastery. The comprehensive teacher manuals provide scripted lesson plans, chalk talk, recitation and review guidelines, vocabulary drill sheets, keys, and much more... Third Form Latin is recommended for students in grades 6 through high school who have completed First & Second Form Latin"--P. [4] of teacher manual and student book cover.

The classic introductory Latin textbook, first published in 1956, and still the bestselling and most highly regarded textbook of its kind.

Wheelock's Latin has all the features that have made it the bestselling single-volume beginning Latin textbook and more: * Forty chapters with grammatical explanations and readings based on ancient Roman authors * Self-tutorial exercises with an answer key for independent study * An extensive English-Latin/Latin-English vocabulary section * A rich selection of original Latin readings—unlike other textbooks which contain primarily made-up Latin texts * Etymological aids Also includes maps of the Mediterranean, Italy and the Aegean area, as well as numerous photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture, mythology, and historical and literary figures presented in the chapter readings.

Getting Started with Latin is divided into simple lessons that explain the fundamentals of Latin grammar in a way that anyone can grasp.

From the Preface: Most Americans who have studied Latin, with our priests and seminarians included, have employed this method, which they thought was 'traditional'. But as something fully developed, this tradition scarcely goes farther back than 1880; and even in its beginnings it hardly antedates the seventeenth century. In contrast to this method of grammatical analysis, Father Most's textbooks reproduce much of the "natural method" by which children learn their native language. Hence, the significance of Father Most's books is manifestly great for the Latin classes in any Catholic high schools or colleges. So much of our Catholic doctrine and culture have been deposited in Latin that we want many of our educated Catholics to be able to use Latin with ease. But the special significance of Father Most's texts is for the Latin classes in our seminaries. Here the students still have much the same cogent motives to master the art of using Latin with ease as the pupils of the thirteenth or sixteenth century. They need it as an indispensable means of communicating thought in their higher studies, and afterwards throughout life. The objectives (knowledge about Latin and training of mind) and corresponding methods (grammatical analysis and translation) "traditional" since 1880 have taken over in our seminaries; and there too the students have been experiencing an ever growing inability to use Latin. Father Most's textbooks can contribute much towards revolutionizing the teaching of Latin by bringing back, as the chief objective, the art of reading, writing, and (when desired) speaking Latin with ease." Fr. Most's textbooks can be classed in categories of similar texts, such as Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina, as well as Ecce Romani which is a simplification of Ørberg or others which aim to teach Latin not even so much as a modern language, as to teach it by a method more natural to the philosophy of learning Languages. Fr. Most's text follows the view that Latin of the later period is actually more advanced in communicating ideas and is easier to learn than Latin of the classical period, and thus this Second Volume begins the transition with readings and vocabulary from the Vulgate, continuing with the more ancient collects of the 1962 Missale Romanum, St. Cyprian and culminating with a reading from the Roman Historian Sallust. This is an excellent text applying the "natural method" with English language instruction to help the student read and understand Latin natively, with numerous vehicles for simplifying the necessary memorization as well as aiding in truly understanding Latin without constant need to look in a dictionary for rudimentary sentences. This is reprinted from the 1960 edition, and follows the presentation of the text found in that edition.
