Caesar First Campaign Beginners Latin Book 1stEd. 1910
"Caesar's First Campaign. A Beginner's Latin Book", by William A. Jenner and Henry E. Wilson, published by Appleton, New York, 1910. First Edition; illustrated.
This book, created for the first year students, contains lessons on Latin grammar, grammatical text analyses, text reviews, and vocabulary.
"As its name indicates, it is based very closely upon the first 29 chapters of the Gallic War, more however in vocabulary than in grammar. By the development of the story the authors have essayed to bring an interest other than the purely grammatical into the work of the first year, and the book ought to be welcomed by those teachers who believe in the inductive method in grammar and who desire to read Caesar from the start. There are good and useful hints as to the written work, methods of declension and conjugation, frequent reviews, which take note of English derivatives, etc., which will increase the attractiveness and efficiency of the book in class room work...
The authors lay great stress upon the limited and carefully chosen vocabulary. Pupils are not required to memorize all the words used in the book but only those occurring in the Helvetian War which are used six or more times in Caesar I-V. These are printed in blacker type in the vocabularies. Finally, in a Word List 500 of the most useful of these are classified by parts of speech and by Caesar chapters, for review. The editors say: "This classified list consists of words occurring in Caesar's First Campaign and used six or more times in the first five books of the Gallic War". ...On the whole, Caesar's First Campaign is a welcome addition to our first year manuals and a sign of life and vigor among the teachers of preparatory Latin."
