Merrill's English Texts

Description
I found my grandfather's old copy of The Oregon Trail indicating that it was one of "Merrill's English Texts" especially chosen for the students of high schools in New York in the early 1900s. So I got curious and decided to search for other "masterpieces of English Literature" that were chosen to be part of this series :)
