The moral tone is plain. "She is kind to the old blind man." The exercises are still suitable, and perhaps more helpful than some contemporary alternatives. Much is left to the teacher. Explanations given in the text are enough to get started teaching a child to read and write. Counting in Roman numerals is included as a bonus in the form of lesson numbers. The form of contractions includes a space. The contemporary word "don't" was renderedas "do n't". The author, not listed in the text, is William Holmes McGuffey. Passages using non-ASCI characters are approximately rendered in the text version. The DOC and PDF versions include the original images. The section numbers are decimal in the Table of Contents but are in Roman Numerals in the body.
