McGuffey's Pictorial Eclectic Primer

<p>McGuffey's "Readers" helped almost an entire country become literate throughout nearly an entire century.  Its appeal spawned numerous editions and revisions making it a popular choice for teaching reading even today.  Like John Cotton in his "New England Primer" (ISBN: 9781947844346) McGuffey incorporated the Bible and his faith into the content of "Readers."  Unfortunately by around 1879 almost all of the content about God and Christ was stripped out.  Many of the versions available today are based on these later ones.  This 'Pictorial Primer' edition however is a facsimile of the Wilson Hinkle & CO 1867 edition which while revised and updated with new lessons still makes reference to God.  For those interested in teaching reading from time-tested methods and are not shy about their values this edition will do.</p>
