Wheelock's Latin, officially titled Latin is a comprehensive, beginning Latin grammar. Chapters introduce related grammatical topics and assume little or no prior knowledge of grammar and language. At the end of each chapter are a collection of translation exercises created specifically for the book or taken directly from ancient sources. Those coming from the ancients (called "Sententiae Antiquae" -- lit., "old sentences or statements") may be either direct quotes or may be a paraphrase from the original document. Also interspersed in the text are introductions to Ancient Roman culture.
