THE NEW SEVENTH EDITION

This latest edition, the seventh, published in 2011, features a great many revisions intended to make Wheelock's Latin even more effective, more interesting, and more user-friendly. The text has been entirely re-keyed, providing the opportunity for formatting and design changes that help clarify each chapter's organization and, along with new photographs and drawings, make the book more visually appealing.

SMALL BOLD CAPITALS are employed to call attention to important new grammatical and other technical terms. To encourage active use of the language in the classroom, Latin is employed in the chapter titles and for section heads (Exercitātiōnēs instead of "Practice and Review," Vocābula for "Vocabulary," etc.).

Material in the footnotes has either been incorporated into the text or deleted. The maps have been updated, and more frequent references appear in the text to encourage their use; the Index has been expanded.

Significant revisions have been made in each chapter's grammar discussion section (newly titled Grammatica), including systematic introduction and definition of all parts of speech, earlier introduction of verb synopsis, and clarification of numerous grammatical points.The chapter Vocābula have been revised in several ways, including spelling out full nominatives for all adjectives, genitives for all nouns, and principal parts for all verbs, even regular first conjugation verbs-thus eliminating abbreviations potentially distracting to students trying to learn new vocabulary items for the first time. Each list is preceded by a brief discussion of new or exceptional types of words that will be encountered, as well as general suggestions on how to master vocabulary.

Similarly, each chapter's Lēctiōnēs et Trānslātiōnēs ("Readings and Translations") section opens with a variety of tips aimed at building reading and translatingskills. English derivatives are provided for Latin words glossed in the Sententiae Antīquae and reading passages, as an aid to learning and recalling their meanings. Some of the existing readings have been slightly revised for improved reinforcement of new and recent vocabulary and grammar; and a few new authentic readings have been added to each chapter, in particular a selection of graffiti from Pompeii, titled Scrīpta In Parietibus ("Writings on Walls"), which are accompanied by drawings or photographs and designed to provide interesting insights into the lives, and literacy, of ancient Roman men and women. These inscriptions and the chapter's literary passages are provided with expanded introductions and a few Quaestiōnēs, reading comprehension and discussion questions designed to focus the reader's attention on important points of both subject and style.

The Etymologia sections have been in some instances shortened, in other instances expanded, particularly with the addition of more Romance language derivatives; and there are a few changes to the Latīna Est Gaudium sections as well.

Finally, the website at www .wheelockslatin .com, the online teacher's guide, vocabulary cards, and other ancillaries available from Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers (www.bolchazy.com search on TITLE: Wheelock) have
been updated to reflect changes to the textbook.
