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 late-middle/early-high school reading and visitors to the museum often find it interesting that students had access to such a wide range of topics. ( )

This final volume contains additional instructions for articulation along with directions for modulating the voice and enunciating words when reading aloud.

Selections are taken from the Bible, authors such as Lord Byron, Tennyson, Sir Walter Scott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Dickens, Emerson, Ben Franklin, Irving, and even Thomas Jefferson.

This is a reproduction of a historical reader. The sixth eclectic reader contains a variety of selections for reading as well as suggestions for how to read aloud (articulation, inflection, etc.) Many selections contain information about the authors, so presumably students were meant to understand the pieces and not just learn how to read aloud.
