Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Completely revised and restructured in light of a nationwide survey of high school and college instructors, and for the very first time available in a special version for North American students, the Oxford Latin Course, Second Edition combines the best features of both modern and traditional methods of Latin teaching, providing an exciting, stimulating introduction and approach to Latin based on the reading of original texts. The new part four is a reader consisting of extracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, and Ovid.

I bought this book for help with the reaer. But, it was no help at all. Most of my time with the teachers' book was spent correcting it.
I do not know who wrote the translations, but they surely know little Latin. This is a worthless book and a waste of both time and money.
Beyond that, most of the things in the book can be easily found in a decent University liberary. And, there you will get a good translation, by somebody that knows Latin.

It is at this point in the Balme and Morwood series that we finally can break away from the children's books. Up until this point the users have been forced to deal with cartoons, which are disgustingly badly drawn, and end chapter questions fit for a monkey. Now, however, real literature is set forth and we may all rejoice.
Ceasar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, and Ovid now replace the story of Quintus, which surely had become dear to our hearts.
One problem with this freedom, though, is that it is quite the leap of knowledge. As I had said, we jump from children's tales to literature and it is not without great effort that we may do so successfully. Be aware that this book is like the prior book squared. Buy a dictionary and make sure it is a good one. Also, in this book you will realize that though you thought you could read Latin by sight, you are now proven wrong. But, it is worth the hard work and this realization to get through this book.
(P.S. the teachers' book is no help!)

In their preface, the authors say, "The transition from adapted Latin to unadapted Latin texts is always traumatic and many courses fail at this point." They surely succeed in this difficult task. The accompanying Teacher's Book is indispensable in self study.
