圖書簡介
作者簡介：William Holmes McGuffey (September 23, 1800 – May 4, 1873)
was an American professor and college president who is best known
for writing the McGuffey Readers, one of the nation's first and
most widely used series of textbooks. It is estimated that at least
122 million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and
1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's
Dictionary.
He was born the son of Alexander and Anna (Holmes) McGuffey near
Claysville in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which is 45 miles
southwest of Pittsburgh. In 1802 the McGuffey family moved further
out into the frontier at Tuscarawas County, Ohio. He attended
country school, and after receiving special instruction at
Youngstown, he attended Greersburg Academy in Darlington,
Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from
Pennsylvania's Washington College, where he became an
instructor.
He was close friends with Washington College's President Andrew
Wylie and lived in Wylie's house for a time; they often would walk
the 3 miles to Washington College together.
McGuffey's house in OxfordMcGuffey left Washington College in 1826
to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A year
later in 1827, he was married to Harriet Spinning of Dayton, Ohio,
with whom he had five children. In 1829, he was ordained at Bethel
Chapel as a minister in the Presbyterian Church. It was in Oxford
that he created the most important contribution of his life: The
McGuffey Readers. His books sold over 122 million copies. He was
very fond of teaching and children as he geared the books toward a
younger audience.
In 1836, he left Miami to become president of Cincinnati College,
where he also served as a distinguished teacher and lecturer. He
left Cincinnati in 1839 to become the 4th president of Ohio
University, which he left in 1843 to become president of Woodward
College (really a secondary school) in Cincinnati.
In 1845, McGuffey moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where he
became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. A
year after his first wife Harriet died in 1850, he married Miss
Laura Howard, daughter of Dean Howard of the University of
Virginia, in 1851. McGuffey is buried in the university burial
ground, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The School of Education at
Miami University is housed in McGuffey Hall which is named for him
and his home in Oxford is a National Historic Landmark offering
tours on weekdays.
目錄
This series of schoolbooks teaching reading and moral precepts,
originally prepared by William Holmes who was a professor at Miami
University McGuffey, had a profound influence on public education
in the United States. The eclectic readers, meaning that the
selections were chosen from a number of sources, were considered
remarkably literary works and probably exerted a greater influence
upon literary tastes in the United States more than any other book,
excluding the Bible.
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. McGuffey's Readers are still in use today in some school
systems, and by parents for home schooling purposes.
This first reader of 1841 introduces children to McGuffey's ethical
code. The child modeled in this book is prompt, good, kind, honest
and truthful. This first book contained fifty-five lessons.
