Summary:
Born in 1800, William Holmes McGuffey had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire books of the Bible. After becoming a teacher at the age of 14, classroom size was just one of several challenges faced by McGuffey. In many one-teacher schools, students' ages varied from six to twenty-one, and few textbooks existed. In 1835, a publishing firm asked McGuffey to create a series of graded
Readers
for primary level students. The series consisted of stories, poems, essays, and speeches and it is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's
Readers
were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961, they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. Since 1836, children have been delighted by these volumes filled with exotic adventures, exciting stories, beautiful poems, and funny fables. The Fourth Eclectic Reader includes "Try, Try Again," "Robinson Crusoe's House," and "The Wreck of the Hesperus."
