Synopsis

The Complete Set To Master The English Language

The Original McGuffey Eclectic Readers Series, written in the 1830’s, was designed by a university professor to help children learn English in the most effective way possible. After years of educating students, McGuffey compiled the best methods that resonate most with children into a series of educational books. This series contains the original Christian content which was removed in later editions. To make these books accessible to young readers, the size of the print is suitable to the age of the reader.

About this title

About the Author

William Holmes McGuffey (1800-1873) was a "born" educator. Beginning by teaching his younger brothers and sisters, William McGuffey accepted his first teaching position at 13 in a one-room school with 48 students. After graduating from Washington College and being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he taught moral philosophy at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for almost ten years. It was during this period that McGuffey wrote and compiled the Readers that made him famous. Later McGuffey rose to the rank of university president, serving Cincinnati College and Ohio University. He spent the final third of his life teaching moral philosophy at the University of Virginia.
