These reproductions of McGuffey's readers are useful volumes for those interested in the history of education in America. The content is faithful to the original and the binding is sturdy. I work at a living history museum and we use these in our 19th century schoolhouse to demonstrate how children learned to read. This volume works well in demonstrating the manner in which students learned to spell for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and visitors to the museum often find it interesting that students learned were learning such advanced words at such a young age.

Since 1836, children have been delighted by the McGuffey Readers' exotic adventures, exciting stories, beautiful poems, and funny fables. This companion volume was revised in 1879 to conform in orthography, pronunciation, and spelling to the latest edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. The Eclectic Spelling-Book was designed to teach students the English language not by appealing merely to memory, but by associating each lesson with some principle of sound, meaning, or accent.
