I gave this book three stars as there are no macrons used. They are essential for learning Latin properly. They are just like accents in other languages and the ancient Romans used them. We know this from graffiti and ancient documents. If you studied French, would you just ignore all the accents??? I think not, if you are a serious student. So, this book is only really good for those who already know all of this and know where the macrons should be. Besides that, it is a good resource for ecclesiastical grammar, but that's about it.

This Latin Grammar is intended for students who are entering seminaries or religious novitiates without previous study of Latin, for sisters in communities that recite the breviary, and for the growing number of lay people who use the Roman Missal and the Roman breviary.
