About this reader

What’s inside

From the Fourth Reader on, the books are anthologies of American and English writing chosen for reading aloud. Each selection has a short note on the author, defined words, and questions. The 1879 revision added new selections, new engravings, and a course on articulation, inflection, and emphasis.

  • Ninety selections from major American and English authors
  • Author notes and defined vocabulary on every lesson
  • Elementary sounds, articulation, and inflection drills
  • Engravings, cleaned and restored
