First Class Reader by Benjamin Dudley Emerson. First Class Reader is a nineteenth-century school Reading Manual compiled for use in American and British schools. The volume, issued in Boston in 1833 by Russell, Odiorne, and Metcalf, gathers selections in prose and verse from celebrated British and American authors. It aims to cultivate purity of sentiment, moral instruction, and a taste for eloquence, through carefully chosen passages organized into lessons rather than fragments. The work includes a Preface and a comprehensive set of Suggestions to Teachers, explaining an instructional method inspired by the Edinburgh Sessional School, emphasizing careful reading, word analysis, and contextual understanding. It presents a clear program for examination and explanation, with specimen questions to illustrate its approach. As the first in a series that includes Second- and Third-Class Readers, the volume reflects Emerson’s educational philosophy and his tenure as a principal, offering a balanced blend of literature, science, and morality for youth.
