Bruns: Latin Reader
Latin Reader by Henry Bruns (1876)
This book provides a basic Latin grammar, followed by Latin readings which begin on p. 73. Bruns begins with the story of Joseph, then some fables of Aesop, some mythological stories, and then a survey of Roman history. The reading selections number about 70 pages and are then followed by notes. There are a few illustrations as well, such as this scene showing the assassination of Julius Caesar. The reading states simply: Ergo Caesar, quum in curiam venisset, viginti tribus vulneribus confossus est.
