McGuffey's Sixth Eclectic Reader (Illustrated)

Note - this Kindle version of McGuffey's Sixth Reader contains all of the original illustrations that are in the printed books. Comments below which may say otherwise are referring to a different Kindle edition of this book.

This Sixth Reader, being the last of the McGuffey Series, builds upon the precedent set in the previous (5th) reader of exposing the child to the greatest minds of the Western world. In this culminating tome, the number and quality of authors is such that would be difficult to find elsewhere. Within these pages, the child will encounter thinkers such as Dickens, Benjamin Franklin, Milton, Elizabeth B. Browning, Sir Francis Bacon, Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tennyson, and the Apostle Paul--as well as many others. By sitting at the feet of such as these, the child's mind will be elevated to new heights of discovery and delight and the breadth and depth of thought will be stretched to limits heretofore unimagined.
