McGuffey Reader Collection: Spelling Books
1
This is an inventory of the Eclectic Progressive Spelling Book, on an improved plan: showing the exact sound of each
syllable, according to the most approved principles of English orthoepy. The spelling books were designed to precede the
Eclectic Readers.\. The McGuffey Reader Collection provides over 600 examples of the evolution of the Readers that
William Holmes McGuffey began writing at the Oxford home in 1834 and continued being published through the 1920s.
From Primers through High School Readers, the whole collection also includes word lists, spelling books and juvenile
speaking texts published in complimentary editions to the Eclectic Educational Series. Several Germana nd Spanish
editions of the Readers are found in the collection.
The finding aid for the collection includes the descriptive details of the cover and title pages, publisher names listed on the Reader title, copyright entry
information, publication dates, lesson titles and authors, illustrators and artists engravers, binding details and inscriptions and other unique identifying features of
the readers in the collection. In studying the collection, researchers can see how McGuffey relied on familiar everyday objects like the ax and farm animals to
teach children their ABCs. Illustrations of familiar scenes demonstrate the difference between the Reader and the forbidding early American schoolbook the "New
England Primer" that combined religion with education. The collection also reveals how the popular readers became significant to children's educational and
cultural development. McGuffey's selection of prose and poetry taught them to read,
Originally published by Truman & Smith of Cincinnati as part of the Eclectic Educational Series, the McGuffey Readers
also demonstrate changing developments in the 19th century printing industry. The collection reveals how the Readers
became the product of publishing houses that merged and grew, publisher names and locations often varied between the
title page and the cover of the same Reader. Cover illustrations and binding styles can slo vary between copies of the
same edition of the Reader in the collection.
A teacher since the age of 14, William Holmes McGuffey (1800-1873) was a professor of ancient languages at Miami University from 1826 until his resignation in
1836. He served as president of Cincinnati College (1836-1839) and Ohio University (1839-1843). Returning to Cincinnati, McGuffey taught at Woodward
College from 1843-1845, when he became professor of moral philosophy at the University of Virginia. He remained there until his death. He was ordained as a
Presbyterian minister in 1829. McGuffey married Harriet Spinning of Dayton, Ohio on April 3, 1827. In addition to three boys who either died in infancy and
childhood, their children included two daughters, Mary McGuffey Stewart (1830-1910) and Henrietta McGuffey Hepburn (1932-1922). Henrietta's' husband,
Andrew D. Hepburn (1830-1921) was president of Miami University from 1871 to 1873 and a professor in Miami's English department for many years.
