The book contains selections from Phaedrus, Caesar, Curtius, Nepos, Sallust, Ovid, Virgil, Plautus, Terence, Cicero, Pliny, and Tacitus, with notes on the reading and vocabulary in the back. The verse fables of Phaedrus have some accent marks to help in the reading of the iambic meter. There is a helpful list of important dates in Roman history. There is appx. 200 pages of Latin reading, but unfortunately no table of contents listing the passages from each author.

It is Joseph Allen who is the "Allen" of Allen & Greenough's Latin grammar, but William Allen was a scholar in his own right, too.
