McGuffey's Eclectic Readers Full Set including Eclectic Spelling Book, Primer and 1st - 6th Readers Eclectic Education Series American Book Company Van Nostrand Reinhold Company Inc, New York Most young Americans of the 19th century first encountered Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, Poe and other great writers through the pages of McGuffey's Eclectic Readers. First published in 1836 and revised five times by 1911, this modest series taught the alphabet, penmanship, syllabification, inflection, spelling and vocabulary - all liberally laced with moral lessons to fortify the character while developing the intellect. McGuffey Readers are now considered a collector's item, and the 2nd Reader of the 1879 edition is among the collections of our National Museum of American History.
