I don't know if the link will work, but the title of the book is Orbis Pictus by John Amos Comenius.

It is supposed to be the first picture book ever made for children.
It was a textbook to learn to read Latin and has about 150 lessons. Each lesson has a short reading in Latin along with the English translation.

Have I mentioned how much I love Google books? :001_smile:
