Looking for Latin textbook
8 Answers
Has anyone got one or more copies of 'The approach to Latin' by Paterson & Macnaughton that they no longer want?

Happy memories! The girls adorning the tables with roses, soldiers marching to the battle, and even the Vocative case which is more or less ignored these days. I wish I could send you a copy, JJB, but unfortunatel y I can't find mine and fear it may have been 'lost' in a previous clear-out.

That is positively ancient. We used it at school in the early 60s until it was replaced by L.A. Wilding's Latin Course. When I tried to reinvigorate my Latin after a gap of 20 years I found Teach Yourself Latin very useful as it takes you up to near A level standard in one book, although I did have the advantage of previous knowledge.
Buenchico's listing looks like a similar but different book. How about these?

> Teach Yourself Latin
Thus far, I've not found anything in the "Teach Yourself..." series anything other than excellent.
